I've tried using the drivers Scyld drivers, and I'm still not having any joy.
After loading pci-scan, when I go to load eepro100, it fails to load saying the
"Device or resource is busy". I get something similar with a 2.4.7 kernel I
thought I'd try for the heck of it.

I have verified that the card is functional, it works in a more modern system
running Windoze.

Where from here?
