Hi Abhay,

	please mail to this list with html turned off: it offends
people.

	You might try 'lspci' or 'lspci -v' to check wether your
e100 is visible. Mine shows up as

 
00:09.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82557 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev
09)
        Subsystem: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 2204
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 66, IRQ 11
        Memory at 41280000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
        I/O ports at 3440 [size=64]
        Memory at 41200000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K]
        Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=1M]
        Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2
 
kernel 2.4.18
I load eepro100 (check with lsmod) and it works perfectly.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Jan.
