Nope, not eepro, eepro100.

Write back when you've tried to load that one.

Sometimes, you need to load the pci-scan module first.

I've got one here built for 2.2.15; I guess it will work on 2.2.19:

For further reference, see:

(I had a Linksys card (tulip driver) that wouldn't work without pci-scan
under 2.2.15.  I happened to build the tulip driver into my 2.2.19
kernel, and it didn't need pci-scan after that.  Whether this is because
the tulip driver was updated under 2.2.19, because I'm not using tulip
as a separate module anymore, or some other reason, I don't know).
