2.0.29 + ISS4 compile error

When I installed the ISS4 patch, I decided to go ahead and compile support
for an Ethernet Express/10 (which is on another box). When I made it, I
got an error at line 450 of drivers/net/eexpress.c about skb being
undefined.

I looked around and realized (correctly, I hope) that someone had recoded
the driver but forgot to change a single reference of "skb" to "buf"...

here's the diff:

--- eexpress.c.~1~ Tue Mar 11 14:32:42 1997

outb(SIRQ_en|irqrmap[dev->irq],ioaddr+SET_IRQ);
- dev_kfree_skb(skb, FREE_WRITE);
+ dev_kfree_skb(buf, FREE_WRITE);
return 0;
}

I'm making alot of assumptions here, but I think I'm right. If so, we need
to have this patched inserted into the next release. If not, could someone
correct me? Thanx.


N!
