[parisc-linux] PCI Intel EtherExpressPro100 strangeness on C200 machine.

[B. Douglas Hilton]

Yes I made a monolithic kernel, so it rebuilt eepro100.c

Prior, I was using a stock Debian vmlinux-2.4.18-32 kernel
so there is a good chance that the Debian packager had made
the same modification to the source.
