After reading the archives, one discovers the current status is:

	waiting on ARM folks to test e100

Latest reference is public message-id <4371A373.6000308@pobox.com>, 
which was CC'd to you.

There is a patch in netdev-2.6.git#e100-sbit and in Andrew's -mm tree 
that should solve the ARM problems, and finally allow us to kill 
eepro100.  But it's waiting for feedback...
