Hi Helmchen,

I had that message too. But it was just a warning, you may turn it off.

There are actually two SMC91111 drivers. The one in main-stream Linux is smc91x.c from Monta Vista. And the other is scm91111.c from Microtonix's release 1.4. Both came the same vendor source, SMC. Both works.

There are three drivers for DM9000A now. The one in main-stream is dm9000.c. And the dm9000x.c is from Microtronix. The last one , dm9ks.c is from Davicom. I feel dm9ks.c is more stable than others, and a little faster with checksum offloading support. I think it can be even faster if we can add scattered DMA.
