I tried 3 different cards with 3 different form factors that I have seen 
the cards go through.


S82557 L7303383 SL24Z (C1989 1995)
Sticker says 00a0c98cf15336713 678400-001

S882558B K840ea71 sl2p4 (c)1996
Sticker  00902725b3c043827 697680-002

GD82559  LD41SH22 (C) 1998
00D0B721E05F 47913 721383-008


I dont see the second one on the chart at
http://support.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/21397.htm

I tested jlemon's drivers when he called for testers back in April.  I used 
netperf to test the cards as well as used them on a new web server.  If 
someone really wants to see the results, I can post them here.  Performance 
between the drivers were virtually identical. However, the jlemon's drivers 
work with the 815E integrated versions of the card, where as the older 
dg@root.com driver does not support the card.

Note, if someone really does not want to use the new version of the drivers 
and want to cvsup to today's STABLE,
