Hi;

Tested this under 2.5.60, and Marc's other patch against
2.5.59 -- compiles and works.

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:60:8C:CB:99:78
inet addr:192.168.2.21 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

RX errors increase under just about any load, similar to
2.4 kernel-- this traffic is over effectively a 2 computer
network. The machine is a k6-II 333. I dont think Ive ever
noticed errors with a wd8013 in this box....
