try

  http://support.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/100linux.htm

but i seem to recall that the eepro100 driver is preferred

fwiw, sound and the pro/100 ethernet work well outa the box on
my t22 w/stock rh7.1 like so...

having also experienced the joy of stacks of floppies and 0.99.x,
i was impressed that rh7.1 autoconfigured everything on my T22
cept for the built-in winmodem... haven't even touched the bios
(cept to leave it full powered with the lid closed.)  of course,
i did have to tweak XF86Config to get 1400x1050x16.
