eepro100 Transmit timeouts - time to cut my losses? & misc

[Erik Barker]

I've since changed line 46 on the eepro100.c ver.1.09l to :

static int multicast_filter_limit = 3;

I recompiled (not as module) and have not experienced any loss of
communication or other issues discussed on this list (at least not yet [1
day] :).

Intel PRO/100+ (i82559)

Albeit it's not as clean as my 3Com Cards yet:

3Com 905B

I think I'll be trying the new v1.09p driver very shortly to see what the
results are like.
