eepro100 was my preference for a while, since mii-tool worked with it and not with e100 (to detect link status), but now I have a machine where e100 works and eepro100 doesn't. so i guess the bottom line is that eepro100 is more featureful and e100 is more official (vendor-supplied). benchmark and use what works. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
