I have an intel eepro100 card in an old PII 266. With eepro100, it gets
~9Mbit, but e100 struggles to keep its head above 1Mbit, and is very
erratic.
Also, drivers/net/Kconfig still claims that E100_NAPI exists, but the
option to disable napi has long since been removed from the driver.

- NAPI is a new driver API designed to reduce CPU and interrupt load
- when the driver is receiving lots of packets from the card. It is
- still somewhat experimental and thus not yet enabled by default.

- If your estimated Rx load is 10kpps or more, or if the card will be
- deployed on potentially unfriendly networks (e.g. in a firewall),
- then say Y here.

- See <file:Documentation/networking/NAPI_HOWTO.txt> for more
- information.

- If in doubt, say N.
