You ignore the fact these two NICs work as expected on 2.6.15 and on 2.4.32 when e100 driver is compiled in, for the same hardware and test. > >e100 doesn't track its own interrupt counts, the kernel does that for us.
What further testing would you like? Also, you ignore the all zeroes ifconfig accounting for the second NIC, and that the accounting was also accumulated to the first e100 along with interrupts.
Anyway the solution is simple: modular e100 is borked on 2.4, compiled in is okay.
