Sorry, but I have had vacation.

I made some modification in Intel code ( very minor ) but without their
npe
driver can't be compiled.  
Regarding MAC address - I "ported" this driver to custom board with own
mac getting mechanism ( I have special function to do it) - please don't
suggest actual state of CONFIG_ESA - it is valid only for RedBoot.

Karel :  I assume that you need to add some defines like DEBUG ( I made
mistake add counter - variable i - and forgot to remove, this problem
appears only when DEBUG is define ) or NPE_USE_INTS ( initially I tried
to use suspended thread to pool dispatcherFunc() ) which are added to
cdl file.

Best Regards,
jerzy
