looks like you found the problem then :)

I'm not sure if the stock 2.4.x kernel has it but there is another
module for the eepro called the e100 module which is from intel. I think
it is included in the 2.4.x tree, try it out 'modprobe e100'. another
thing may be to try to compile another version of the driver, the official
site for the eepro driver is here:
http://www.scyld.com/network/eepro100.html

theres also mailing list and stuff there too, I reccomend posting
there, I used to be on the list, donald becker is quite helpful to
posters. Also you can try to grab the diagnostics program and run it
on your card as well.

all my systems run 2.2.19..
