WD driver lockup (happens with etherboot 3.2 AND 4)

[dieter.rothacker@Xterminator.STUDFB.UniBw-Muenchen.de (Dieter Rothacker)]

Hi,

I have a BIG problem with the netboot driver for WD cards.

Here at my university's lab I have 4 old EISA-486 with SMC Ultra (8216C)
NICs.
While 1 of them with an Adaptec AHA 2740 and 16MB RAM works fine, the 3
other machines have AHA 1740 adapters and 28MB RAM.

These 3 machines hang when the driver probes the card. It prints out the MAC
adress, and then the cursor freezes. I have tried various configurations
with these horrible EISA-config-utils, but none works.

Using some printf's, I found the lockup to be here:
After the MAC adress "OK 1" is printed and then the driver hangs.
