eepro100.c with patch suitable for vlan?

Hello

I tried kernel 2.4.20 with VLAN but was unable to send 1500byte packets
probably due to mtu problems.

I found the following patch. It's from 2000 so I wondered if it is
discouraged to use it because it seems not to be incorporated yet.

Do I have another chance of using vlan other than using the e100.c
driver (or lowering the mtu). The e100 cannot restart autoneg or reset
the NIC with ethtool/mii-tool as far as I have tested.

bye,
