I found the source of the problem.
In the backport that created CVS version 1.23 from version 1.22 the
entire driver got pretty much wacked. As a result, the entries that
were added to support the AMD8111 in 2.7.0 (version 1.22) got removed
along with just about all the rest of the code.
So that explains why 2.7.0 works and 2.8 and following don't.
The PCI device ID for the AMD756 compatible interface in the 8111 chip is:
0x746b
I'll try and find a few more minutes to work on the patch.
:v)
