I have 2 machines with eepro100 cards. I used the original driver for
them out of habit and on the last 2.4.20 kernel get A LOT of:

eth0: freeing mc frame.

in my dmesg log. Out of curiosity I tried with the alternate driver and
that seems to have gone away. Is one depreciated or are they both
viable and just different? The help message doesn't really say much on
the topic.

e100 is intels own driver which was initially proprietary but has since been
cleaned up a lot and relicensed GPL, then merged with the kernel. The e100
driver is probably the best driver to be using nowdays although both should
work reliably
