On Suse I have used the e100 driver with the

   in /etc/modules.conf
   the last years.

   This option does not work in debian,

   Any hints on how to proceed ?

I have an EEPRO100 (several of them actually) and for Debian I do nothing with the driver. But I'm not sure how autonegotiation is handled. 

mii-tools helps debug the settings.


Foudn this on google
Try to add "options eepro100 options=0" to your /etc/modules.conf
to default the speed to 10Mbps if you're using 10BaseT.

add to /etc/modules.conf ...
# options=0x30 100mbps full duplex
# options=0x20 100mbps half duplex
# options=0 10mbps half duplex
options eepro100 options=0

then run "depmod -a"
