[eepro100] eepro100 on linux 2.2.5-15 : overruns

[Satish R]

Hi,

I have a 440 BX based Compaq PC running Linux version 2.2.5-15 and the eepro
driver i guess is 1.06 (as i saw it from
/usr/src/linux-2.2.5/drivers/net/eepro100.c:v1.06 )

I notice that there are lot of overrun errors in my ifconfig output which is
given below.Also the interface speed is reported as 10 MBPs.

I want to change the interface speed to 100 Mbps so that may be my overruns
will be 0

I have the following doubts :

1. How do i see the current loaded eepro version ?
2. What is worng with my ifcong output? Is the correct driver with proper
verion
   in use ?
3. I notice that while booting, kernel does not report it's findings about
eepro?
   [ But the system is on the network and working ]

Please help,

I hv enclosed some debug outputs below here,
