Hi, Oliver has pushed a new set of kernel RPMS into the "updates" repository on buildsys.zero42.at.

Pertinent to #2 above - the current e100 driver, which gets built by default and handles those same NIC chipsets, is having problems on Alpha (many "e100_watchdog: transmit timed out" msgs), and performance can be severely degraded. The eepro100 driver does not exhibit this problem, so a workaround is to force use of it rather than e100. One does this by making a new entry in the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file, like so: blacklist e100
... snip ...wouldn't it be easier to edit the kernel config to not build the e100 module in the SRPMS?
