I was wrong, the module did not load at boot. dmesg showed the above 
_after_ I ran # modprobe eepro100, then # ifup eth0

I just added the line 
eepro100 to /etc/modules, saved the file, then rebooted. The module 
did NOT load. Then I ran (as root): 
modprobe eepro10 -followed by- ifup eth0

That showed up in dmesg. So the module is not loading at boot, in 
spite of being added to /etc/modules. It disappears 
from /etc/modules...
