My version is 2.2.7 which claims to support the card, an Intel Etherexpress Pro 100/B (has been working fine on a Linux box for some months now, so the hardware is not faulty). On boot the kernel seems to (sort of) detect it, with the message: fxp0 rev 4 int a irq ?? on pci0:6:0 int line register not set by bios fxp0: couldn't map interrupt However, going into the visual config presents only a selection for "Intel EtherExpress Pro/10", which is ex0 (and not fxp0, which seems to be what I want). Do I need to get the kernel sources and compile a driver? I'd like to avoid this since the machine has a very small hard drive (I'm planning to use it as a router, the etherexpress is actually the second NIC in the machine) and I probably don't have the space for it. Anyhow, if the driver isn't already in the kernel, why is it detecting the stuff it spits out at boot? Thanks in advance for any pointers.
