I have just upgraded from Linux Kernel 2.4.5 to 2.4.6 and I have a small annoying problem with >the eepro100 driver. Every time I put my system into an APM suspend and then resume the machine, the driver stops working and will not let me bring up the interface >until I remove the module and reinstall it. I am using the exact same config as I did in 2.4.5. Computer is a Compaq Armada M700. I inserted in this message what I do at the >command line and my syslog. It's not a big issue, just something that is a little annoying.

Mike,

this one maybe related to the report I did on Monday (2.4.6.-ac2:
Problems with eepro100), although my problems only started (surfaced) when going from 2.4.6-ac1 to -ac2. What kind of system do you have? Laptop? Which make?

Mike,

could you just check out this small patch? It disables putting the
eepro100 into D2 mode at all. Not a solution, but maybe a hint if it scares away the problem.
