When compiling the kernel with the 8390 network drivers, the linker
complains that
there are multiple definitions of some symbols. This is because these
symbols are
exported under net/netsyms.c and drivers/net/8390.c. I don't know which
is
supposed to export the symbols, but I removed the exports from 8390.c
and left
them in netsyms.c and it works fine. Here's a patch.
