You are right, the NE2100 is nothing at all like the NE2000.
The LANCE driver in pl13 was written for an AT1500, but I tried to make it
general enough to work with the NE1500 and NE2100. It should work without
changes, including autoprobe in {0x300, 0x320, 0x340, 0x360} and autoIRQ. The
default DMA channel is DMA5 -- I haven't yet decided if autoDMA is a good
idea.
Please post a followup article detailing your experience.
