well I've not looked at any other eepro100's but I did find a couple of
more changes in the Linux driver that might be needed in etherboot, but I
didn't want to break anything with them, so I've left them out,

what issues are you still seeing with eepro100? there is a workaround for
certain revs on 10MB networks in the Linux driver that might be needed in
the transmit path, among others I'm sure.. I think a few readbacks of the
registers like Linux does may also help some issues..

Regards,
Dave.
