./drivers/net/tulip/de2104x.o(.data+0x74): undefined reference to `local
symbols in discarded section .exit.text'


In drivers/net/tulip/de2104x.c the function de_remove_on is __exit but
the pointer to it is __devexit_p.

Two possible solutions:

1. Make this driver hot-pluggable. Jeff Garzik vetoes against this
solution.

2. Change the __devexit_p to an #ifdef MODULE (it's ugly, but it lets
the driver compiles with all combinations of config options without
making it hot-pluggable):
