I'm not sure if this could help but can you check the media type and set it to autoselect if it isn't already (ifconfig [iface])? If it already is, does it show 10baseT/UTP? In one OpenBSD box here, I got it working with 10baseT only, the other types won't work. I don't really have the specs of the EEPro100 so I can't say if it's supposed to work with 100baseT but here, it just doesn't.
