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

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
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 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,
