I sort of got it working by using the e100 driver from Intel, and then
forcefully setting the MAC address to something other than 0xFF...FF
Neither Becker, I, nor someone at Intel could figure out why
the MAC (EEPROM) was all FFs. The best guess was that the BIOS
was screwed up somehow (that's what the Intel guy said...)
I'd be interested if you get it working...I have two of these marginal
boards gathering dust!!
