2.4.19-pre8-ben0 acenic driver and 867 MHz G4 sound problems

[Bill Fink]

Hi,

First, thanks to BenH for his fix in the 2.4.19-pre8-ben0 kernel that
once again allows booting of the 867 MHz G4.  Unfortunately, I now have
a new problem as the acenic driver is now broken (using a NetGear GA620
NIC).  The previously working version was from a 2.4.17-pre2-ben0 kernel.
I can send a diff between the two sources if that would be of any help.

Also, is there any update on why sound doesn't work on the 867?  It would
be nice to listen to CDs or watch DVDs on these machines.

P.S.  For the sound problem, here's some info starting with the dmesg output:
