The oldest kernel i've tried is 2.4.10-ac11 on my SMP box and my
mysterious "hangs" (10-20s at a time) disappeared when i switched to
2.4.17-pre2. The box is dual P3 on Serverworks LE chipset. I tried
switching cards from the onboard eepro100 to a seperate dual eepro100 card
and that also exhibited the same problems, so there *might* be something
with the driver. Currently i'm using 3c59x, but i can still test with the
onboard eepro100, let me know if you need guinea pigs.

After few months of problems with eepro with the following hardware
Intel STL2 (Serverworks III LE) Mainboard
and
Asus CUVX-D (via 694D chipset)
I trashed the cards and now using 3C905
There're several problems with the stability of drivers in eepro drivers
May be the problem is lack of low level decumentation for the cards
They advise to use their binnary only driver (did you? :)).
