I had so much problem with eepro100 running like a turtle everytime after reboot, but after switching to e100, the problem simply went away!

Seems that there was sensitivity depending upon which version of Cisco IOS I flashed to and if I used the eepro (Becker / scyld driver) or the base (SuSE SLES) e100 driver from Intel. After swaping drivers and forcing with options= and swapping IOS for a week I found that e100 works ok with IOS 12.1, eepro worked best on IOS 11.x or 12.1 only if I forced both the driver and switch. Mind you the system would come up at 100 mbs full-duplex, but when I put load over the wire with ttcp, the switch would flap until I locked it in IOS using eepro. I also used both SuSE SLES and RH 7.1, same on all the above.
