Hiya!

Sorry, no.  The Linux driver for the EtherExpress is (for lack of a better
term) 'broken'.  There is some crazy logic within the card (ie, bugs in the
microcode).  One of the sysadmins here at Monash actually fixed the problem
with the driver and sent off the patches 2 _years_ ago, but it looks like
they've fallen out of the kernel source.

I had an EtherExpress, and managed 2kbyte/sec transfer rate.  As soon as I
dropped in a 3Com Etherlink III, I was getting up to 900kbytes/sec.
(And for what it's worth, Win95 and the EtherExpress works fine.)

What's the solution??  Get another ethernet card.  

Steve
