I have an Intel EtherExpress 82557 10/100 base T Network card and its not
being recognised on a Linux-2.0.30 kernel with EtherExpress 16 and
EtherExpress pro options compiled in. Is there anything else I am supposed
to set up/configure.

The same kernel will recognise a WD 8013EP and an NE2000 clone and the
rest of the network is operating fine.

I have the same card, but I don't even know how to compile those options in.
Where do you start?

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!

Get hold of a kernel and decompress it in /usr/src
cd to /usr/src/linux and run make config.

Answer these questions correctly.
...
Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit) (CONFIG_NET_ETHERNET) [Y/n/?] y
....
Other ISA cards (CONFIG_NET_ISA) [y/N/?] y
....
EtherExpress 16 support (CONFIG_EEXPRESS) [y/m/N/?] y
EtherExpressPro support (CONFIG_EEXPRESS_PRO) [y/m/N/?] y

Why this card is hidden in the 'Other ISA cards' is beyond me.
