Use the e100 driver that Intel wrote.  It is much better and runs
great on my VAIO.  The eepro100 had many lockups.

My audio works fine with stock kernel 2.2.16. i810_audio.  I use RH 7.0.

I'm working on this.  There is a driver for the 2.2.x series kernels,
but I couldn't get it to work.  Beg Conexant to release a driver or
open source their code.



Someone wrote a program to change LCD contrast.  It works.  Try:

Let me know of any other things you encounter.
