e100 is a rather simple driver because the hardware doesn't support much 
features. We've tried to make e100 a bit more like e1000 over the last few 
years as in basic structure, and as such e1000 is always a bit ahead of e100 
when it comes to that. Nonetheless it's probably an easy driver to read 
codewise (I should hope).

Cheers,

Auke
