Intel briliantly decided a few years ago that old drivers should not be
downloadable anymore because they were no longer supported. Apparently no
driver is better than an unsupported driver according to intel.
Now according to some discussions I saw on vogon, it seems that the 100+
might not ever have had an actual driver for DOS from intel (too new)
but someone else has written one themselves.

Looks like version 0.3 was the newest. They even included source code.
The zip file contains drivers/e100pkt/e100pkt.com along with some
documentation and the source code.
