Thanks.  I've been running Linux since 0.99.something and have
always been in the habit of compiling my own kernels.  I've
investigated doing that with 2.4.9 and 2.4.10, but it looks
like the e100 nic driver has been dropped sometime between the
2.4.2 that came with this RedHat 7.1 distribution and the
current kernels.  I've tried using the eepro100 driver, but it
doesn't recognize the card.

Windows shows the card as an "Intel PRO/100 VE Network
Connector", and using the e100 driver under 2.4.2 shows the
same thing.  But none of the other drivers in the newer kernels
look to be correct for it.

I even tried to find the card on Intel's website, but all I
could find were normal pci slot cards for servers &
workstations and pcmcia cards.

I tried searching the Linux kernel archives to see what
happened to the e100 driver, but wasn't able to find the answer.

So, although I suspect one of the other drivers covers the
card, right now having ethernet is more important to me than
having sound, so I'm running the 2.4.2 kernel (which,
incidentally, I *have* reconfigured and recompiled to take out
crap I don't need).

Thanks
Michael
