No yelling.
It's right that it's a huge time since I last did anything useful for 
the em8300 drivers, and I'm sorry for this. I wish I could fine some 
time to devote to this drivers (and also to Debian, but that's 
off-topic here), but I've been too busy with real life "lately".
Anyway, I'm glad to see that there are still some people who are willing 
to improve this drivers and keep them up-to-date. Thanks!
(Note that I also still use this good old card daily, but currently with 
a very old kernel. I also still have some ideas for improvements, but no 
time to implement them.)

Cheers,

Nicolas
