Ok, great I had thought that was probably the case.

I have now tried the eepro100-1.09t for kernel 2.3, but it only works
correctly as a module.  If I compile it into the kernel then on bootup the
kernel apparently picks up a large number of ethX devices, (eth0 to eth8 I
think), all of which are apparently EtherExpress cards!  Obviously this isn't
right, but the modular version has no such problems.  In fact when I tried this
on a machine with a second card in it (an SMC Epic100 as it happens) the Epic
card was never picked up properly, the spurious EtherExpress cards overrode it
it seemed.

Was I doing something odd?  Or is this a glitch that you know about?
