I have had problems with the eepro100 drivers and RedHat, both 7.2 and 7.3 on my workstation at work. In my case, the network connection would croak under load (anything over 2 MB).

I bagged the eepro100 driver and went with the e100 and everything is fine now. -- Perry Hoekstra E-Commerce Architect Talent Software Services perry.hoekstra at talentemail.com
