I've also attached:

o config-2.6.18.1-adlink used to compile this kernel
o dmesg output after the machine boots

I suppose the information I've sent is not enough to locate the
root of the problem. Is there more I can provide?

Here is some context for those who have been added to the CC list:
http://groups.google.com/group/linux.kernel/browse_frm/thread/bdc8fd08fb601c26

As far as I understand, some consider the eepro100 driver to be
obsolete, and it has been considered for removal.

What is the current status?

Unfortunately, e100 does not work out-of-the-box on this system.

Is there something I can do to improve the situation?

lets go ahead and print the output from e100_load_eeprom
debug patch attached.
