It should work if you build the kernel as follows:
make mrproper
make neponset_config
make oldconfig
make dep
make zImage
Although I don't recall if I personally tested it in this particular
release?
If this didn't work, then there's either something wrong with Neponset
SMC91C94 support in 2.4.7-rmk3-np1 or, more than likely, you may need
to update your Assabet and/or Neponset CPLDs. If you've never used
linux on Assabet+Neponset in the past, the later is a possible cause
of your problems since some earlier revs of the Assabet/Neponset
hardware required CPLD updates to get the SMC91C94 (as well as other
devices) to work correctly. If in fact this is the fist time you've
attempted to run linux on Assabet/Neponset, you might want to check
for CPLD updates here:

Of course you could just try the latest SA patch too: 2.4.9-ac9-rmk1-np1
Hope this helps! : )
