Returning an error from hard_start_xmit() from normal ethernet
drivers is, frankly, a driver bug and should never happen.
I don't know if there is somehow something special about the
e100, but even if there is hard_start_xmit() failures can
be avoided by properly doing netif_queue_{stop,wakeup}() in
the right places.
