Where does that appear? Can't find it in drivers/net anywhere.

____alloc_ei_netdev is the function defined in lib8390.c which is
called by the individual drivers from their respective
__alloc_ei_netdev().

The only symbol exported by zorro8390.c should be __alloc_ei_netdev -
if your above change was done in some symbol exports file it should
probably have been left at __alloc_ei_netdev.

Cheers,
