To get asked for support for the EE 16, you have to answer Y to the 
"Do you want to be asked about ALPHA drivers ?" -- this means alpha
test, and has nothing to do with Alpha-AXP machines, BTW.

You may want to try recent 1.3.x kernels, as the EE16 driver has
been modified a fair bit recently. Older versions were apparently 
almost unusable, but the 1.3.90 kernel I tested on a couple EE16
cards worked okay. Got 760kB/s Rx and 820kB/s Tx to another 1.2.13
Linux box.

As for the AT&T card, it might be a StarLan or something. You'd have to
check the numbers on the chips (and board if any). Don't like your 
chances tho' -- prolly better off with the EE16.

Paul.
