[Voyage-linux] Kernel Module for Natsemi

[Joe Nelson]

I have seen that mentioned on many VLAN lists so I tried an Intel card with 
the eepro100 module in the PCI slot of my Soekris and it still wouldn't 
work. Basically it wouldn't let me set the MTU to 1504. Its good to hear 
that you've used eepro100 successfully. I either have an old version of the 
module or I'm doing something wrong in the vlan setup.
