Re: Which kernel module for Intel® PRO/100 S Desktop Adapt

Just a guess, but you could try eepro, eepro100, or e1000.  As root, just try 'modprobe module_name' for each of those and see if one works.

example:

modprobe eepro100

Somebody from another forum recomend me to use e100 And this work.
But I still want to know why.
Why I should use e100 not eepro100 end not eepro? Why?
Where I can find table like this

I believe the difference is that e100 is the original intel driver, and eepro is made by the kernel team (though I'm not sure, and it can be a complete lie  )

      To verify that your adapter is supported, find the board ID number
      on the adapter. Look for a label that has a barcode and a number
      in the format 123456-001 (six digits hyphen three digits). Match
      this to the list of numbers above.

      For more information on how to identify your adapter, go to the
      Adapter & Driver ID Guide at:

      http://support.intel.com/support/networ … /21397.htm

      For the latest Intel PRO/100 network driver for Linux, see:

      http://appsr.intel.com/scripts-df/support_intel.asp

      More specific information on configuring the driver is in
      <file:Documentation/networking/e100.txt>.

      To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
      <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>.  The module
      will be called e100.
