Hi Willy,

I started from the latest backport you sent in september (0.42) and
incrementally applied 2.6 updates. I stopped at 0.50 which provides
VLAN support, because after this one, there are some 2.4-incompatible
changes (64bit consistent memory allocation for rings, and MSI/MSIX
support).
I agree, 2.4 needs a backport. Either a full backport as you did, or a
minimal one-liner fix.
Right now, the driver is not usable due to an incorrect initialization.
Or to be more accurate:
# modprobe
# ifup
works.
But
# modprobe
# ifup
# ifdown
# ifup
causes a misconfiguration, and the nic hangs hard after a few MB. And
recent distros do the equivalent of ifup/ifdown/ifup somewhere in the
initialization.
Marcelo: Do you need a one-liner, or could you apply a large backport patch?
