    I've never looked at such advanced features in either kernel. I'd just be
    happy with a driver that worked with all the eepros out there on IPv4. Do
    you have any info on the various types of eepros in use and
    success/failures? I'll have to make some excuses to try some cards on a
    test machine soon and find it for myself. Don't have any network kit at
    home... we use eepro100s pretty much exclusivly at my works and its kinda
    embarasing sometimes when things dont work so well ;)
