The driver for this board is delivered with 2.0.30 (at least it wasn't
with 2.0.29).  You'll have to pick up the special 82557 driver from
Donald Becker's web page:

      http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/eepro100.html

Follow the directions and it should work like a charm.  It did for me
at least.  By the way, this is nicely documented in the ethernet
howto.

While I'm at it,  Thanks Donald for your excellent work!
