I am running a two year old EEPro100 card in one of my Linux boxes running mdk 7.1 and operation has been flawless. Two years ago I had a problem where I would get transceiver lockup errors clogging stout full of messages intermittently, but that went away a couple of upgrades ago (around the time that I switched from RedHat 6.0 to Mandrake 6.1.) About 10 months to a year ago I stumbled across a documented bug in the EEPro100 driver where on the newer managed cards the driver would screw up and set the MAC address to all 0's. That was supposed to have been fixed long before the 2.2.15 kernel came out, but I would have to sift through a some stuff to make sure.
