Jeff and Felipe,
I naturally tried the default e100 first when I
installed SuSE 8.1 and only tried the eepro100.c
when the e100 failed identically. The e100 is harder
to debug w/o MII so felt the e100pro with MII might
shed some light.
Any suggestions. I'll happily assist in resolving this.

I agree that comparison is useful, though it should be pointed out that
ethtool is preferred for e100...
