No luck with RTL8139 & Etherboot 4.2

[Klaus Muth <muth@hagos.de>]

Hi!

After some trial & error I got Etherboot to work with my rtl8139 card.
>From disk. After some research I got the right eproms and a burner, 
found how to enable the rom and so on, but this dammed thing now
thinks, it has mac address ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff when the bootrom is on
chard!
That is not all: if I configure my dhcpd to deliver to this mac address,
the computer just reboots. 

BTW: If I use a 4.0 bootimage, the card sends the right mac. But
then the card driver hangs (seems to be a known bug in 4.0).

*sigh*

Anyone else, who has this problem? Anyone out there, who has an eprom
erazer? (This *§%§$"/!"§ things don't clear, even when some hours in
sunlight)
