See if eepro100 works on your 82556 cards. I would be surprised if it does. If it does, maybe it's not that much trouble to add support to e100. Let us know. I did add the PCI ID to e100 to to try it with both drivers. In short: both eepro100 and e100 have problems loading the eeprom and don't

eepro100 also drives 82556-based cards. I have a couple of EtherExpress PRO/100 Smart cards, Intel identifier is PILA8485, PCI ID is 8086:1228. e100 doesn't support them, I'm told eepro100 works (I have not verified it myself). I can probably get a card or to for testing with Linux. -- Meelis Roo
