We had similar problems with Compaq Proliant XEON EEPro100 NIC and Compaq
Spart Array. System would periodically hang or panic. Problems went away
after I replaced EEPRO100 NIC with TLAN NICs(Texas instruments or
"Thunderland"). It's a good indication that there could be a problem with
eepro driver.

You not only replaced the driver but the hardware too. So, that tells
us nothing about the eepro100 driver really.

Depending on the model, also, some EEPro100s were buggy hardware wise, and
had problems with various MBs.
