Did you read what I said, or are you just out for blood?

I told you that the current driver is better than any of the alternatives.
If you have problems with that, then _fix_ it.

I tried a newer eepro100 not too long ago.

It broke even WITHOUT multicasting, and I could see the breakage myself.

So I had a choice between a driver that works for me, and a driver that
breaks for me. Which one do _you_ think I should use?

In short, don't complain. Fix the driver, and get back to me. Otherwise
you're just a pathetic whiner.
