Re: 3C905b partial lockup in 2.4.5-pre5 and up to 2.4.6-pre1

["Glenn C. Hofmann" <hofmanng@swbell.net>]

I have, as was suggested, built as a module, and get unresolved symbol do_softirq, so 
this appears to be another problem in this driver with 2.4.6-pre2.  If I can help in any 
way, please let me know, although I am by no means a programmer, just a tester.  
Thanks.
