Problems with eepro100 and kernel 2.4.6

[Mike Crawford]

I have just upgraded from Linux Kernel 2.4.5 to 2.4.6 and I have a small annoying problem with the eepro100 driver.  Every time I put my system into an APM suspend and then resume the machine, the driver stops working and will not let me bring up the interface until I remove the module and reinstall it.  I am using the exact same config as I did in 2.4.5.  Computer is a Compaq Armada M700.  I inserted in this message what I do at the command line and my syslog.  It's not a big issue, just something that is a little annoying.
