Subject[BUG] e100 driver fails to initialize NIC on 2.5.44
From
Date
While booting the 2.5.44 kernel & configured with the Intel e100 driver,
I get the follow error:

kernel: e100: hw init failed
kernel: e100: Failed to initialize, instance #0

I'm running this on an Intel STL2 server motherboard w/ 2 PIII's and 2.5
GB RAM. If you need more info I can provide it.

The patch below fixes my problem by increasing the maximum number of
retries that the SCB command field is checked in the e100_wait_scb()
function.
