Hi

For what it is worth (not much considering 3c905b can be bought for less 
than 5 bucks) the eepro driver is now fixed in the 5.4 cvs.

It was a simple matter of rolling back the relocation changes made in 
5.1.  It seems that drivers like the eepro do not need any special 
changes to deal with relocation.

If I understand it correctly, it makes sense because the hardware is not 
addressing memory for the packets.  Packets are simply written to the io 
address of the card at the proper offset.
