Didn't you ask this once already?  Yes, 2.2 supports a bunch of 100MBit
cards (you'll need to check the FAQ/handbook, or release notes for 2.2.5,
to see exactly which ones).  As for making it work, it's just like adding
any other bit of hardware:

Maybe configure jumpers on card
Plug card into machine
Maybe configure card using crufty DOS-based setup program
Build kernel with appropriate driver for card
It works!

If you're really lucky you might get a card that does Plug-n-Pray properly,
so you can skip most of the configuration steps.

HTH, HAND,

	Scott.
