Hello!
using linux kernel 2.5.69
trying to load e100 driver, gives me following in logs:
May 20 16:47:56 p4 kernel: Intel(R) PRO/100 Network Driver - version
2.2.21-k1
May 20 16:47:56 p4 kernel: Copyright (c) 2003 Intel Corporation
May 20 16:47:56 p4 kernel:
May 20 16:47:56 p4 kernel: e100: selftest OK.
May 20 16:47:59 p4 kernel: Freeing alive device d2c43800, eth%%d
May 20 16:47:59 p4 kernel: e100: eth1: Intel(R) PRO/100 Network Connection
May 20 16:47:59 p4 kernel: Hardware receive checksums enabled
May 20 16:47:59 p4 kernel: cpu cycle saver enabled
module works fine, but notice %%d in the output, should be missprint and
easy to fix.

It is a misfeature (i.e. a deliberate bug) in the log daemon. Starting
sometime in the 2.3 kernel series, the PIIX IDE code mistakenly used
printk("... not 100% native mode ...");
which would then correctly log as "not 100 ative mode". It took a while
before the printk() string was corrected to "100%% native" and unfortunately,
the log daemon changed before the IDE code was fixed.
eth%d is the result from not calling init_etherdev() or so.
