Quoted 5 lines · Martin Schlemmer
I have a 3Com 3c940 gigabit LOM, that is basically a SysKonnect chipset card. Here are later drivers that do support it:
ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/lan/3com/3c940/041_Linux.zip
latest drivers for SK-98xx and clones are 6.05 version.
patch for 2.4.20: http://www.syskonnect.de/syskonnect/support/driver/zip/sk98lin_2.4.20_patch.gz

Ok, I updated it to 6.05, and can be found here:
ftp://ftp.puk.ac.za/incoming/sk98lin-update-2.5.68.patch.bz2
A few issues though:
1) Should MOD_INC_USE_COUNT and MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT just be removed? I commented them for now.
2) What other changes should be done for 2.5 ?
Thanks,

No. For the net device itself, make sure you do SET_MODULE_OWNER() on the netdev before passing it to register_netdevice().
For the procfs stuff you must make sure the appropriate module refcounting is done for that mechanism.
Just deleteing MOD_{INC,DEC}_USE_COUNT blindly will result in the module being broken.
