[1] From the [Debian] non-free Packages file: |

* There are a number of enhancements in this driver compared to the stock kernel eepro100 driver, which makes it suitable for high-traffic systems. (Things like improved ucode for less interrupts, hardware checksumming of tcp packets). |

* There are a number of patent issues with the source code. Until that is sorted out, don't use the source in your projects except for your intel card. |
