Yes, I copied the driver to the non smp modules tree though.

The compile actually failed because pcmcia/driver_ops.h could
not be found. However eepro100.o and pci-scan.o were created
so I copied  them into the correct location.

Now dmesg shows.

eth0: Intel i82559 rev 8 at 0xe009d000, 00:02:B3:1D:2F:27, IRQ 19.
  Board assembly 721383-016, Physical connectors present: RJ45
  Primary interface chip i82555 PHY #1.
  General self-test: passed.
  Serial sub-system self-test: passed.
  Internal registers self-test: passed.
  ROM checksum self-test: passed (0x04f4518b).

This was after I removed the sleep mode bit as well
# eepro100-diag -G 0 -w -w -f

so now I have
[root@gppce06 /root]# ./eepro100-diag -f -ee

 The EEPROM checksum is correct.

Unfortunately the nfs is still hanging after running certain commands
within the nfs mount though.
