	I've compiled 2.4.3mdk-25 source with Athlon optimizations, and the
problem still happens.

	eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF  
          inet addr:192.168.0.1  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:4294967221 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
          Interrupt:11 Base address:0x9000 

	Look at the HWaddr. With default kernel (not compiled), I haven't this
problem and my ethernet card goes well and the HWaddr is: ·"HWaddr
00:E0:29:9A:CB:62 ". And I'm sure after reboot I *MUST* restore all the
values of my BIOS setup. Believe me,  I know. :(


	Here is the output of dmesg when loading the 81389too module:

	Assertion failed! ioaddr != NULL,8139too.c,rtl8139_init_one,line=927
eth0: SMC1211TX EZCard 10/100 (RealTek RTL8139) at 0x9000,
ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, IRQ 11
eth0:  Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8139C'
eth0: Setting 100mbps half-duplex based on auto-negotiated partner ability
ffff.

	"Assertion failed! ioaddr != NULL,8139too.c,rtl8139_init_one,line=927"?
What is this? Is this the cause of the bug?

	Now the lspci -vv:

	I hope these lines can help.
