My system, a dual PIII550 is sometimes hanging with eepro problems, here
goes some details that I hope could help to fix the problem(s).
The eepro driver included in linux 2.2.17 (eepro100.c:v1.09j-t 9/29/99 /
$Revision: 1.20.2.10 $ 2000/05/31) was hanging with this messages:

I'v started now to use your latest drivers from netdriver-2.0.src.rpm (hope
to maintain the machine more time up ...)
After boot the driver gave an syslog message:
