FYI - You can still use Intel's "e100" driver on the 2.4 kernels:
http://www.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/100Linux.htm
You just have to make a slight change so that it will build correctly:
In order to make e100 compile on 2.4.x, you need to prevent building in the
iANS hooks (the teaming interface) by commenting out a few lines in the
Makefile. Line 45 reads:
# Adding IANS support
Comment out the 9 lines following this one and it will build correctly.
I've heard that this will be fixed in a few weeks.

Subject: [eepro100] wait_for_cmd_timeout (and other errors) on 1.20.2.10
Hello,
I'm attempting to switch from Intel's eepro100 driver to the stock Linux
driver
in order to facilitate an eventual move to Linux 2.4 on one of my products.
I'm
attempting to use the eepro100 v1.20.2.10 driver that ships with RedHat's
2.2.16-3 kernel. (I don't think they add any additional patches to this
driver
but I haven't checked.) I can get specific information about the board, if
necessary,
The system that this is running on is an Intel 2x500mhz. I don't know much
about
the motherboard (it was purchased a while ago), but I can crack it open if
necessary. This system has two EEPRO100 NICs and I'm passing "options=48,48"
to
set them both to 100/Full. The network seems to come up okay, but I've been
seeing some timeouts mounting our NFS filesystems and some error messages
(below) in the kernel log.
Note that the "Board assembly" on the second Ethernet card says "000000-000"
instead of providing a valid number. (like eth0) This may be a symptom of
the
issue. Please let me know if you would like some assitional debug flags
passed
to this driver to get you a better rundown of the problem.
Is there a newer driver that you would recommend that I try? Is this a known
issue with this driver? Is it something odd with the hardware? (Doubtful
because
the Intel driver comes up fine.)
Thanks,
Joe
