I haven't confirmed this, but kernel traffic pointed out by Julian from oct
last year indicated 2.4.10 or greater should be ok.  Also the new intel
driver for linux seems ok, too.

I think 2.2.20 contains the right bugfixes.  I'm certain major distros like
RedHat or Suse or Debian have good eepro100 drivers.
