	If you can I suggest you to upgrade your kernel. A few days ago
the latest was 2.4.3. It is a general advice trying to get the latest
kernel/drivers. Since vendors do not usually give you updated
Linux drivers, you have to look for them yourself. 

	 I do no have tested eepro100 with pcmcia, but I ran into
trouble with my sis900 and the trouble vanished when I got Linux
2.4.2.

	I hope your problem will be solved.
