Assunto: Linux 2.4.18 8139too.c driver fix for mii-tool

  In 2.4.20, the non-ethtool ioctls on 8139too (and 8139cp, for that
matter) are handled by mii.c::generic_mii_ioctl, which already have
this fix (in a more generic way):

mii_data->phy_id &= mii_if->phy_id_mask;
mii_data->reg_num &= mii_if->reg_num_mask;

  You can check

  For more details.
