I wrote the Intel Etherexpress Pro driver to support the original ISA
card.  The newer PCI uses a different chipset, 82556, which is the same as
the one in the ExterExpress Pro 100B.  Donald Becker wrote a driver for
it.  You should be able to use his driver to detect and to use the PCI
Pro/10.

Good luck.
