I tested 1.02 about a month ago (it actually made it into 2.1.112 only to be immediately reverted in 2.1.113 due to the problems).
That version essentially crashed my machine under heavy load. Admittedly the load I put on it was heavier than most people normally see, but the thing is that the current eepro100 has been rock solid for me (and others) under _any_ amount of load.
If there are people out there that know that 1.03 fixes real problems from 1.02, I'd be happy to test it out. Donald hasn't been sending me patches, but if somebody else sends me the diff I can try it. However, if it's a question of multicast working at all versus a question of non-multicast being stable, then basic stability wins every time.
