The FORE Systems, Inc. PCA-200E ATM PCI Adapters (hfa driver) does not work on alpha on -stable and shouldn't appear on the hardware release notes for alpha. IIRC a compile time error due to some missing initialisation. I planned to investigate this a bit further, but didn't have the time for it sofar. I don't know about the ENI-155p.
