eepro100 also uses it, and usbnet.

mii.o is also needed by the realtek chip on my smc91c92_cs.o card (someone 
wrote in that the kernel config file did not compile it for that card 
automatically and suggested a fix).  I don't know if it is needed for the 
wireless realtek rtl8180 chip that I hope to compile.


I can insmod crc32 and mii on two computers which do NOT have an rtl8139 
NIC in them.  (They have 3c59X 3COM).  One AMD K6-2 and one 600MHz PII.

On a 450MHz AMD K6-2 and a 300MHz Gateway/Intel PII I get the same error 
message when I try to insmod mii.  With David's kernel in all cases.

Maybe the network card itself is causing the error?  Or else I am simply 
unlucky.  I will try with two more rtl cards eventually.  I don't have 
enough spares to replace all four 8139 cards with tulip or 3c59x.
