- on a similar note, I have a wd8013 clone which I have specified to
- FORCE_8BIT (the define is in the beginning of /linux/net/tcp/wereg.h
- to answer the original question) but the kernel *STILL* identifies it
- on boot as a wd8013...
-
- it gives the correct ethernet address and such and all the error messages
- I ever get identify it properly... is this a harmless little printk
- or is there more likely something more serious wrong?
