I was wondering if anyone has had anyluck getting the Intel Pro 100M
Integrated PCI NIC working and which driver they used?

I am attemping to install Gentoo 1.4 but the ethernet card is not being
detected. I have recently installed RedHat 9 on the same machine with the
same problem. I was on the Intel website earlier and it said that integrated
cards in the Pro/100 family where an OEM deal and to contact my computer
manufacturer. Ignoring them, I downloaded the latest e100 driver and crossed
my fingers. No dice. Same as Redhat, the card was auto-detected as
(eepro100) EtherExpress 100. However this driver doesnt work either. Running
'modprobe e100' gives me an error message 'No such Device' and 'insmod ...
failed' . If i run 'modprobe eepro100' I get no messages, then I run
'ifconfig eth0' and get:

BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU 1500 Metric:1 (everything not filled in is 0)
RX: 0
TX: 18
txqueuelen:100
TX bytes:4460
Interrupt:11 Base address: 0x7000

I have a Dell Dimension 4550 and of course Dell does not support anything
but windows for my computer. Im connected to a ethernet broadband router
that is connected to a DSL. And trying to connect via DHCP. WinXP is on the
Same machine and has no problems conecting to the internet so I know all my
hardware is good. I am sure I am forgetting something simple any help would
be great thanks in advance
