#48 8139too hangs machine...

[Anonymous]

I was trying to ftp a file (22M) and my machine hangs
during the transfer. I am currently using 8139too
v0.9.17. I realize there is a new release available,
v0.9.18; however, I am having trouble compiling it:

[bwoo@ashley 8139too-0.9.18]$ make
gcc -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -D__KERNEL__
-I/spare/cvs/linux_2_3/include -DCPU=586 -march=i586
-Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer
-fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -c

I think the problem is the mii.h. I search my whole
disk but I can't find mii.h anywhere. kernel-source
does not have it either. Is there anywhere I can find
it? I am currently using kernel 2.4.3-12 (Redhat 7.1
with kernel upgrade). Thanks very much.

The same compilation behaviour appears in mdk (kernel 2.4.3-
20mdk). In the 8139too.txt file (0.9.18) is a statement
that this version is for 2.4.3 and higher, so I suggest
rewrite the code including conditionals checking the
version of the kernel: less than 2.4.6 and not
