We have a usenet server we use with 2.6.6 kernel and the eepro100 gives
IRQ problems:

Where as the e100 is rocksolid (knock wood) under sometimes heavy load:
Linux 2.6.6-bk2 (root@enterprise) (gcc 3.3.3 ) #1 Sun May 16 10:50:59 CEST 2004 1CPU [enterprise.cistron.nl]

irq 8: 3 rtc irq 18: 996592375 eth0
irq 9: 0 acpi irq 19: 22025755 ide2, ide3
So _i_ would advise the e100 driver.
