[eepro100] back-porting v1.18 into kernel-2.4.17

[Eung-Shik Kim]

Hi all:

I had been working on eepro100.c following version:

eepro100.c:v1.18 11/7/2001 Donald Becker <becker@scyld.com>


For some reason I had to upgrade kernel version from 2.4.2 to 2.4.17.
So I think that I had to back-port my modified eepro100.c into kernel-2.4.17.
I found out different version of eepro100 between Donald Becker's and  Andrey 
Savochkin's. But I do not know how to back-port. 
Could someone help me out plz.

In addition, which is better solution between back-porting my modified 
eepro100.c into kernel-2.4.17 and newly modifying Andrey Savochkin's 
eepro100.c of kernel-2.4.17 based on my work on Donald Becker's eepro100.c 
v1.18 ?

Thanks in advance...
