Should be the "e100" driver. According to the source code:
* I. General
*
* The driver supports Intel(R) 10/100 Mbps PCI Fast Ethernet
* controller family, which includes the 82557, 82558, 82559,
* 82550, 82551, and 82562 devices. 82558 and greater controllers
* integrate the Intel 82555 PHY. The controllers are used in
* server and client network interface cards, as well as in
* LAN-On-Motherboard (LOM), CardBus, MiniPCI, and ICHx
* configurations. 8255x supports a 32-bit linear addressing
* mode and operates at 33Mhz PCI clock rate.
So verify that the "e100" driver is loaded via "/sbin/lsmod".
All right, making assurance doubly sure, I logged in using "su - root"
*and* did cd before /sbin/lsmod.
I see columns labelled Module, Size, and Used by. "e100" is not mentioned
in any of them -- and without a Net connection, I have no way to download
anything. Can I get it off the CDs, as I must have been doing before?
Or is it there somewhere and has to be activated or enabled somehow?
