I had no luck with the e100, so sent an email to Intel support. They
replied that the card was supported by the eepro100_cb.o module, which
is included in the pcmcia-source package. I compiled and can load the
module, but am still not getting the interface bound to eth0:
#ifconfig eth0 up
eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
