e100: Freeing alive device?

[Chuck Ebbert]

  Every time I boot 2.5.69 I get this in the log:

        Intel(R) PRO/100 Network Driver - version 2.2.21-k1
        Copyright (c) 2003 Intel Corporation

        e100: selftest OK.
        Freeing alive device c3f34000, eth%d              <========= eth%d ???
        e100: eth0: Intel(R) PRO/100 Network Connection

        e100: selftest OK.
        e100: eth1: Intel(R) PRO/100 Network Connection

(Output from lspci for these adapters is at the end of this message.)


  I added a stack dump in net/core/dev.c where the message
is printed and caught this:
