I did it, taking drivers from 2.5.12, and at least it compiles.
I have to try in the real box, but I don't think there were any problems,
at least the same than 2.5....

Marcelo, is there any chance to get this in next -pre or in .19 ?
Patches are big, so I put them at:

http://giga.cps.unizar.es/~magallon/linux/kernel/intel/e100-2.0.27-pre3.bz2
http://giga.cps.unizar.es/~magallon/linux/kernel/intel/e1000-4.2.8.bz2

(note, second gives some offsets and a fail if applied without the first
one...)

Some notes/questions:

- e100 has no help text.
- Versions are far newer than those listen in intel web pages:
* e100: Intel web is 1.8.35, the driver taken from 2.5.12 is 2.0.27-pre3
* e1000: Intel web is 4.1.7, driver in 2.5 is 4.2.8

Thanks for all the info.
