I cannot compile e100 after upgrading the kernel. When trying I get this information: .... /usr/src/linux/include/asm/system.h: In function `__set_64bit_var': /usr/src/linux/include/asm/system.h:193: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules /usr/src/linux/include/asm/system.h:193: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules e100_main.c: In function `e100_add_skb_to_end': e100_main.c:356: warning: implicit declaration of function `pci_dma_sync_single' e100_main.c: In function `e100_suspend': e100_main.c:4521: error: too many arguments to function `pci_save_state' e100_main.c: In function `e100_resume': e100_main.c:4546: error: too many arguments to function `pci_restore_state' make: *** [e100_main.o] Error 1 !!!

you can just use the in-kernel version with your recent kernel no need for external module compilation hassle.
I have done that now. But is it not a problem anyway if you choose not to compile in? Should it not work as a module?
The driver included in the kernel tree can be compiled in or as a module. The ebuild was for older kernels.
#4: Should the documentation [1] not reflect this change? I do not find the hint "If appropriate..." very informative. [1]: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=7#doc_chap5
It will be, for 2005.0, where 2.6 is default :)
