I sent this to the list since theres probably someone else out there who wants to do this besides the two of us :) Hopefully this driver will be integrated into the main distribution eventually..

Do you think you could forward me this info??
Thank you, Jim

You didn't add it to drivers/net/Space.c. An example of how to that is in (complete with the EEPRO100 mods) is in http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/vortex.patch
That patch file probably won't with your kernel version, but is trivial to apply by hand.

What was the problem?
