IBM 100/10 EtherJet PCI

Hello,
    I have a friend that just setup a Linux box, he has an IBM 100/10
EtherJet PCI ethernet card.  As far as I can tell there is no driver for
this card, is there any way to use an ethernet card that doesn't have a
driver?  Or perhaps someone is aware of a driver in development for it?
I found a web-site about the development for the IBM EtherJet PC PCMCIA
card, AFAIK this won't work for the PCI card, but I wonder if anyone
knows how easy it would be to adapt it?  Any help would be much
appreciated.

Always report the chip the card uses, either from looking at the physical
board or checking the report in /proc/pci.

There is almost certainly a driver that will work for the chip, it just
won't be listed as an "EtherJet" driver.

Check for a driver on
  http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/index.html
when you know the type of chip.

The hardware is almost certainly unrelated.  Most IBM PCMCIA ethercards are
NE2000-clone-like.

I am using this card, using the "eepro100" drivers.  I think I
obtained them at the aforementioned web site:

1. Drivers for an IBM 100/10 etherjet PCI NIC

Ive just installed linux for the first time on a brand spaking new
machine, everything went fine except for the network card installation
the card was in the machine during the installation, and was correctly
configure with all IP address Netmask etc. but now anytime i do a
Ifconfig -a  i only get the loop back parameters for "lo" if i do an
ifconfig -a eth0 it says there is no such interface.

could this be because there are no drivers for the NIC?? if this is the
case can someone point me out to where i can obtain them??

thanks!
