Recompile the kernel and include support for the card: CONFIG_EEXPRESS_PRO100=y
either as a module or built directly into the kernel, yes thats PRO100 support!
Use a newer kernel (>2.1.29 should be ok).

I have a PnP PCI version of this card. I found it impossible to change its
IRQ (my bios doesn't support irq assignment and it can't be done from
softset). So... the card has decided to share irq's with my video card
(guess what, can't change that either!). It works quite happily like this
though. I couldn't install linux via NFS using the EtherExpress so I threw in
a trusty old wd8003e for installation. The etherexpress seems only to work in
half duplex mode, I can't seem to get it to go full duplex (I doubt it would
improve things much though:-)

Good luck!
