This is definitely a EEPro architecture chip -- there is no other way to
get valid-looking EEPROM contents.

I am very surprised to see new boards that have Sleep Mode enabled.
It's very unlikely that Intel fixed the bug yet left the enable bit in
the same location.

If you have operational problems you should clear that bit by following
those directions.

Definitely a Ethernet transceiver.  (BTW, you don't have link beat...)

Yes.  This has the same effect as the "--watch" option to mii-diag.
Plug in the Ethernet cable and you'll that the program is monitoring the
link and timestamping all link negotiation actions.

OK, I've just put the a test driver in
    ftp://www.scyld.com/pub/network/test/eepro100.c

The CVS entry is
________________
eepro100.c:v1.25 8/27/2002

Added PCI table entries for IDs 1039, 103a, 103b and a wildcard match
for 103*.

Added an explicit subsystem match entry for
   0x8086 0x103b, 0x0e11 0x0012    "HP/Compaq D510 Intel Pro/100 VM",
although I'm not certain this is the correct name for the adapter.

To test this driver do

mkdir /tmp/netdrivers/
cd /tmp/netdrivers/
ncftp ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/network/netdrivers.tgz
tar xfvz netdrivers.tgz
ncftp ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/network/test/eepro100.c
make
