[eepro100] Intel PRO/100 S Dual Port Server adapter

[Andrew Pollock]

Hi,

I bought an Intel PRO/100 S Dual Port Server adapter and chucked it in my
PC, and got lovely stuff like this when I booted up:

eth0: Invalid EEPROM checksum 0xffc0, check settings before activating
this device!
eth0: OEM i82557/i82558 10/100 Ethernet at 0x5800, FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF, IRQ
0.
Receiver lock-up bug exists -- enabling work-around.
Board assembly ffffff-255, Physical connectors present: RJ45 BNC AUI MII
Primary interface chip unknown-15 PHY #31.
Secondary interface chip i82555.
Self test failed, status ffffffff:
Failure to initialize the i82557.
Verify that the card is a bus-master capable slot.
eth1: Invalid EEPROM checksum 0xffc0, check settings before activating
this device!
eth1: OEM i82557/i82558 10/100 Ethernet at 0x5820, FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF, IRQ
0.
Receiver lock-up bug exists -- enabling work-around.
Board assembly ffffff-255, Physical connectors present: RJ45 BNC AUI MII
Primary interface chip unknown-15 PHY #31.
Secondary interface chip i82555.
Self test failed, status ffffffff:
Failure to initialize the i82557.
Verify that the card is a bus-master capable slot.

The PC is an early Pentium 75, running kernel 2.2.14 with a kernel with
Intel EtherExpress PRO support compiled in.

Is it simply a case of my computer being too old, or am I doing something
wrong?
