Hi!
Sorry for the "private" message... I'm testing some machines
(real and virtual) under 2.4.3pre8, that have a AMD PCNET32
ethernet driver. This cards works PERFECTLY under 2.2.x, but if
I compile 2.4.x, I get a error on pcnet32.c about a function
not defined: is_valid_etherdevice().

It seems that you all have changed lots of networking functions
on the 2.2 to 2.4 change, but this driver still continues using
the old functions.

If i just comment the call to is_valid_etherdevice() (I'll
assume the kernel passes a good etherdevice to pcnet32.c :-)
the system hangs during boot when loading the pcnet32 module.

If you need more info about this, ask me at this email.
Thanks a lot for any help.
