Just to be sure, you did rebuild the eepro100 module too?

I'm using the nic for hours now and it is working perfectly.

With the original module (2.4.19-pa2) I wasn't able to receive ip packets
larger than approx 150 bytes. For example a ping -s 100  went through
while ping -s 200 didn't.

Btw. the diff was from 2.4.19-pa2. Maybe there have been other changes
if you are using an older kernel.

The address of the maintainer Andrey V. Savochkin <saw@saw.sw.com.sg>
seems to be broken. So no help from there.
