Hello,
I came across a bug in the de4x5 driver for Linux 2.4.1, which causes
segfault during initialisation. In srom_search(), the driver walks the
device list attached to a PCI bus and eventually finds the list head,
which is contained in struct pci_bus, not pci_dev. Then, pci_dev_b()
obviously returns nonsense, which eventually results in illegal memory
reference.
This bug only manifests itself when the network adapter is not on the PCI
bus 0.
I attach a patch that works for me.
Thank you,
Nikita
