You might try 'lspci' or 'lspci -v' to check wether your

I load eepro100 (check with lsmod) and it works perfectly.
And since you mention you're using kernel 2.2.19, it's an easy "apt-get
install kernel-image-2.4.18" to upgrade to the 2.4.18 kernel with a
newer ee100 driver.
(Note: You may need to do an "apt-get update" first to grab the latest
list of packages from debian, if you haven't done that since the
install.)
