Which module would you guys (or gals :) recommend for this NIC, the

Pro 100 (rev 08)

I would use the module the kernel detects and automatically loads and
if no problem arises, I'll keep that one O:-)

If the kernel is auto detecting the device and loading a driver, and the
device works properly, it makes one wonder why the OP posted his
question here in the first place...

Yes, that is a good question that was not properly addressed.

@OP: Mathias, can you specify what kind of errors are you experiencing
with *any* of the drivers? Detection issues, package drop/lost issues,
connection problems, intermittent errors, system locks...?
