There aren't too many of these out there, and they usually require some special configuration (although they can work as a dumb nic, but why would you want a full length pro/100 card?) > Are they matched by some joker rule that I haven't noticed in e100, or > is support for them really going to disappear? I think support for these devices can disappear (as I don't think they will work anyway) but if someone complains we can take into account what eepro100 did to support it (if anything) and enable it in e100.
