Is this a eepro100 card, or one of the Intel integrated ethernet controllers (on the motherboard). I have a lab full of the integrated controllers (Called Intel Ether Express Pro 100/VE+ I believe), and for older kernels I needed to install and compile a proprietary intel driver available from the website. Recent kernels (2.2.18, 2.4.0) have support for the card, but the support doesn't stand up to much stress (randomly, a reboot will make the driver break, and when you try to actually push 100Mbit through it, it dies like a fish in a lava tank).
