We have a usenet server we use with 2.6.6 kernel and the eepro100 gives IRQ problems:
May 16 01:35:58 enterprise kernel: eepro100.c:v1.09j-t 9/29/99 Donald Becker http://www.scyld.com/network/eepro100.html May 16 01:35:58 enterprise kernel: eepro100.c: $Revision: 1.36 $ 2000/11/17 Modified by Andrey V.

Where as the e100 is rocksolid (knock wood) under sometimes heavy load:

So _i_ would advise the e100 driver.
