Hmmm. Seems that _alloc_pages() is not implemented in the Device Driver
Environment for some reasons. Christian?

Anyway, are you using a 2.6 driver for the e1000? ORe can only handle
2.4 at the moment.

The fastest solution will probably be to adapt the driver to not use
_alloc_pages(), but get its memory from somewhere else instead.
(kmalloc()?, L4 dataspace with PINNED flag set?).

ORe = Oshkosh REsurrection

Oshkosh is another software network switch, but it is not available to
the public.
