82559ER eeprom

What could be the reason for the driver to crash during init, when trying to
write eeprom.

Currently linux(2.4.17 rmk2) crashes while in do_eeprom_cmd() when it tries
to write to eeprom. Any suggestion on this would be appreciated.

thanks

...... do_eeprom_cmd()....

do {
		short dataval = (cmd & (1 << cmd_len)) ? EE_WRITE_1 :
EE_WRITE_0;
		printk("go dataval\n");
		io_outw(dataval, ee_addr); 
		printk("go delay\n");
		udelay(2);
		printk("go dataval EE_SHIFT\n");
		io_outw(dataval | EE_SHIFT_CLK, ee_addr); 
		printk("go delay\n");
		udelay(2);
		retval = (retval << 1) | ((io_inw(ee_addr) & EE_DATA_READ) ?
1 : 0);<--- crashes
	} while (--cmd_len >= 0);
