grab mii-diag.c from the scyld website and try this:

  rmmod eepro100
  insmod eepro100 # any version
  mii-diag -F 100BaseTx # force a mode
  mii-diag -R # go back to auto-negotiate

I had a similar problem with a non-laptop EEPro 100+ and could not get the device
back up unless I followed the steps above.
