   [PATCH] 2.5.70 - eepro100 - use alloc_etherdev
   
   Ignore earlier patch -- this one locks and free's as appropriate.
   Tested on 2.5.72 with SMP.
   
   Of course, it begs the question why have two (now three) versions of drivers for
   the same hardware...

<[e-mail]> (03/06/24 1.1448)
   [PATCH] Remove CAP_NET_ADMIN check for SIOCETHTOOL's
   
   dev_ioctl already checks capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN), so no need to do so in
   drivers.

   [PATCH] alloc_etherdev for smc91c92_cs
   
   net_device is no longer allocated as part of the driver's private structure,
   instead it's allocated via alloc_netdev. compile tested only since no hardware
   against 2.5.73-bk
