Very Computer

I can't seem get the Intel Ether Express PRO/10+ card to function.  The
driver loads with the correct irq/io settings and without error.
Nothing can be sent or received, but when i use an intel pro100b card
(different driver) but with the same settings everything works.

Is this a common problem?

I've also noticed that Intel's web site says my card is a EtherExpress
PRO/10+ ISA (TP).  However the Ethernet HOWTO states i should use:
.--------------------------------
|Ether Express PRO/10+
|
|Status -- Supported
|
|A slight change in name (from the above) but a different design. This
card uses the i82557 chip, and
|hence uses the eepro100 driver described below.
`---------------------------------

My card does not have an i82557 chip, but instead has a i82595, which
leads me to use this driver:
.---------------------------------
|Ether Express PRO/10
|
|Status -- Supported
|
|Bao Chau Ha has written a driver for these cards that has been included
into early 1.3.x kernels. It
|may also work with some of the Compaq built-in ethernet systems that
are based on the i82595 chip.
`----------------------------------
It loads without any errors, but just does not Transmit or Receive.

This is a Plug and Play card, but i have disabled it using Intels
SoftSet program as well as used it to set it to 0x300, irq 10

Any help would be appreciated.

My Intel EtherExpress PRO 10 would not work with irq 10 on either of two
machines running Linux, even though irq 10 was not in use on those machines.
Irq 10 worked fine in Win95 on one of those boxes, so, I don't have an
explanation. Try setting card to another IRQ, irq 5 worked for me. If that
don't work, try forcing 8-bit mode using softset2. Let me know by email if
this works, ok?

Have you tried setting it to an address other than 0x300?  It might be
conflicting with something else.

George,
    For some reason  that card will not work correctly in that computer.
I finally gave up,
and bought a used Intel EtherExpress16 at a computer show (I've got to
find a cheaper hobby).
Next I upgraded to Redhat 5.0 on the other machine and now it sees the
Linksys PCI LAN Card II.
So, guess what , I'm sending this from  one Linux box through the
ethernet cards to the other Linux box which is connected to the internet
via dialup and out to the internet thru IP fowarding.
Thanks for your patience and help.

The EEPro10 driver should work fine with the 10+ card, perhaps with
decreased performance.
