You are aware that the e100 driver exists as a standalone module
source package in Debian, right? I would prefer using this one over
eepro100, since I have had some issues in the past with eepro100.
I've had no problems compiling e100 as an external module with a
variety on kernels, using kernel-package.
Also, eepro100 is in the kernel as of 2.4.20, so you could just use a
more recent kernel.
