From: "HARDY, Steven" <steven.hardy@astrium.eads.net>
I have found a bug in the pcnet32 driver (drivers/net/pcnet32.c) affecting
all ethernet cards based on the AMD79C975 chip, using the fiber interface.
It's a one line fix, where some config registers get corrupted during
initialisation (which stops the Fiber interface working with this chip)
This bug was introduced somewhere betweeen 2.4.17 and 2.6.x (noticed whilst
upgrading to 2.6), and it may affect other chips too. I have checked all
versions up to 2.6.11-bk6 and they are all broken.
