To tell the truth, FLIPS does not really "support" eepro100 NICs. FLIPS is
a port of the Linux 2.4 TCP/IP stack to L4. "flips-lxdrv" is just a simple
toy to get it working on real hardware - my test box. You are free to hack
other drivers into flips/server/lib-lxdrv.

There exists a package that uses dde_linux to run Linux NIC drivers on L4,
but unfortunately it's not in our public CVS up to now.
