Ah, well. ...

Not really much we can do about this, except fix the drivers. That said : 

config DM9102
        tristate "Davicom DM910x/DM980x support"
        depends on NET_TULIP && PCI
        select CRC32
        ---help---
          This driver is for DM9102(A)/DM9132/DM9801 compatible PCI cards from
          Davicom (<http://www.davicom.com.tw/>).  If you have such a network
          (Ethernet) card, say Y.  Some information is contained in the file
          <file:Documentation/networking/dmfe.txt>.

          To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
          <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>.  The module will
          be called dmfe.

and :

obj-$(CONFIG_DM9102)            += dmfe.o

which means the dmfe driver is indeed the default for the DM9102. If some
cards don't work with the dmfe driver, then the dmfe driver is buggy and needs
to be fixed, don't you think ? 

Friendly,

Sven Luther
