Re: [2.6.6] eepro100 vs e100?

I've always had good results with the e100 driver:

Intel(R) PRO/100 Network Driver - version 2.3.36-k1
Copyright (c) 2003 Intel Corporation

e100: selftest OK.
e100: eth1: Intel(R) PRO/100 Network Connection
Hardware receive checksums enabled
cpu cycle saver enabled

Hello List,

I'm currently in the process of cleaning up my 2.6 kernel configuration on my trusty SMP HP Netserver LC3, which comes shipped with 2 identical intel Pro Ethernet 100 mbit cards:

0000:00:08.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev 05)
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company NetServer 10/100TX
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 66, IRQ 16
Memory at fecfd000 (32-bit, prefetchable)
I/O ports at fcc0 [size=32]
Memory at fed00000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M]
Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 1

I'm wondering what driver is the "best" one to use? Judging by the comments in the files, the e100 driver seems to be the best maintained, though I'm probably wrong ;p

The website that is referenced in the eepro100 driver is no longer available (returns a 404).

If someone can shed some light on this, thanks!

Jan
