Hello Tim.
Well, i have a 2742 Controller running and i read a lot from people having
this card running.
In my opinion, due to this message, you have to configure your controller
with the EISA configuration utility, you should have for your motherboard.
And you need configuration files for each EISA card.
The EISA configuration usually runs under MSDOS, bootet from a floppy or
from a special boot disk.
I also have a ne3200 (intel etherexpress 32) in my system, but i can not
run it with linux, as it seems to be not supported. I tried a lot of
drivers for network cards, but it is not detected at boot time.
If you know more about it, please let me know.
good luck.
Marc.
