eepro100/2.2.19: failure when switching to promiscuous mode

[Erik Corry]

Hi

Kernel 2.2.19, SMP, PIII-800

I've been seeing the eepro100 ethernet driver stop working when VMWare
puts it in promiscuous mode.  /var/log/messages looks like this:

Sep 18 08:35:18 gna kernel: bridge-eth0: set IFF_PROMISC

/proc/pci says:
