It's probably easier to leave the eepro100 driver in than find anyone who wants to investigate why the other driver (e100? from memory) doesn't work with some cards. As I recall this was suggested over a year ago and it was decided to leave it in, all of the reasons for doing so still seem valid. There really doesn't seem to be a benefit, it's not like people are working night and day to support new cards for this chip. -- Bill Davidsen "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot
