Bug#270263: kernel-image-2.4.26-1-686: sk98lin ethernet driver module is version 6.22 in distribution and does not work.

[Russel Winder <russel@russel.org.uk>]

Package: kernel-image-2.4.26-1-686
Version: 2.4.26-6
Severity: normal


The sk98lin driver distributed with the kernel is version 6.22 and does not
work.  The module loads fine but does not correctly initialize the
hardware and so no TCP/IP connection can be made.

I have downloaded version 7.04 from the author website compiled and
installed it and it works fine.
