Paul is referring to the _original_ Intel EtherExpress card.  The 8/16, 
_NOT_ the Pro series.  The "ix" driver 

I used this card successfully under 2.1.0 with the "ie" driver (before 
it was renamed "ix").

/*
 * Intel 82586 Ethernet chip
 * Register, bit, and structure definitions.

this

 * Intel EtherExpress 16 support from if_ix.c, written by Rodney W. 
Grimes.

/*
 * The i82586 is a very versatile chip, found in many implementations.
 * Programming this chip is mostly the same, but certain details differ
 * from card to card.  This driver is written so that different cards
 * can be automatically detected at run-time.

I hope this clears things up.
