I'm probably not the best person to handle these reports. You should
report to linux.nics@intel.com (CC'ed), they are the authors of the e100
driver.

Until a fix is available I would suggest to try to use the original
linux eepro100 driver and see if the machine hangs goes away that way.

thanks,

Andrea
