I was trying to find out how to set the eepro100 duplex from the kernel 
parameters via the ether= argument.  The information at 
http://www.scyld.com/network/eepro100.html  in the "Configuration Options" 
section mentions option values for use in modules.conf and on the kernel 
command line.  There are 2 versions of the options one for version 1.14 
and earlier and 1.15 and later.

I tried using the 1.15 verion with my 1.36 driver.  didn't work. I checked 
the source, and 1.36 (downloaded from kernel.org as part of the 2.4.19 
kernel source) is using the old (1.14) option values.

Somebody might want to fix this document.

thanks,

Britt
