Before you use it, you might want to change this:
---> if [ "$CONFIG_PCI" = "y" ]; then
if [ "$CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL" = "y" ]; then
tristate ' DM9102 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter support (EXPERIMENTAL)' CONFIG_DM9102
fi
fi
I missed the closing " on "$CONFIG_PCI" in the
patch. I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't
work -- I should have turned on syntax highlighting.

That would be really nice and would fix things like the problem I had on
2.3.48 with CONFIG_PCI breaking parport code (?!) I have yet to try
anything later.
