This should be fixed in the 2.6.9-mm tree (via my netdev-2.6 tree).

Note that eepro100 driver will be deleted soon.

By soon, do you mean in 5 years?
Or by deleted, do you mean deprecated?

Ignore me, I'm just being a smart arse ;)

I'm afraid that e100 does not work well on some systems (e.g. my ThinkPad
T30 on 2.4.x) while eepro100 does.
(I also know there're systems which does not work well
with eepro100 but e100.)

Has all of such kind of issues been solved?

The issues won't get resolved if there is no impetus to fix :)

  we have several systems where e100 produces netdev watchdog errors,
  while eepro100 works without problems.  I can understand the desire
  to migrate, but what timeframe are we looking at?  roughly
  translated, when do I _have_ to start help debugging the e100
  driver?  ;-)

  I can do another attempt at rolling out the e100 driver, see what
  breaks, and try to report it around 2.6.1[01] or something like that
  if that helps?

My overall position is, -almost all- the issues have been solved in 
e100, so this should flush the last remaining ones out of the woodwork. 
  Otherwise nobody will ever notice much less test e100 on these various 
edge cases.

If there are e100 problems, report them to the maintainers so we can get 
them resolved ASAP...

  I got a very nice mail from Jesse Brandeburg saying pretty much the
  same thing...  so, I've pushed kernels for around 75 boxen over to
  e100 today, from eepro100.  I'm not _quite_ sure when I'll have the
  chance to boot them all, but when they do, and if they have
  problems, I'll report back.

Thanks.

I update a kernel's parameter from eepro100 to PRO/100.
linux-2.6.9 work fine.
