Hello folks,
here is the issue:
The intel pricelist at
http://www.intel.com/business/america/pricelist/index.htm
does not list the Intel® PRO/100+ PCI (PILA8460) any more,
and I could not find new stock at some online stores, leading me to
believe this card is being discontinued.
What is there on the site is:
Intel® PRO/100+ Management Adapter PILA8460B
This has a 82559, not a 82557/82558.
Its web page is at
http://www.intel.com/network/products/pro100mgmt.htm
Questtion is, does this beast work with the eepro100 driver
-----------------------------------------------------------
Secondly the Intel Server Adapter, mind you, not the
Intel Intelligent server adapter with the i960, also seems to have
a 82559. Its web page is at:
http://www.intel.com/network/tech_specs/pro100srvr.htm
The web page states that eepro-server is not supported. Does that include this
particular beast(i'm assuming here that 82559 is supported, something that
may be patently false) or only the "Intelligent server adapter, which has
its own web page at http://www.intel.com/network/products/pro100int.htm.
Thanks a lot ,
Rahul
