kernel-2.4.32 'drivers/net' bugs acknowledgement

[dragonfly]

Hi,
    Recently, I did a cursory check to the 'drivers/net' directory of
the official 2.4.32 kernel sources with the help of a validity check
tool i developed. The following are the bugs i think to be,
sincerely apply your acknowledgement. Hope it helpful to improve great
Linux.
