Unfortunately there is no bug tracking system, but I think some
negotiation issues have been reported on 10 Mb networks in the past as
you mention.

If it looks like it won't break anything existing, my inclination is to
add a change. Things like readbacks and better media detection qualify
in my book.

Could the people having problems with eepro100 (other than the hard lock
issue) please reply with details to the users list?
