I read on the mailing list that the current SNAP has some support for
the Intel EtherExpress Pro 100 cards. I have a few questions pertaining
to those. How good are the drivers? When might they become available for
use (or are they) with the 2.1 kernel? Will the Pro 100 drivers work
with the Pro 10 cards? 


Right now, I have a bunch of Pro 10s and a couple of Pro 100s (all PCI 
cards) that I'd like to use in my UNIX boxes. For now, I just went out
and got some NE2000 ISA cards to hold me over, but I was wondering 
when I might expect to be able to use those other cards because they
are a lot nicer and they cost me too much $$$ to just sit around gathering
dust! :) Thanks for the help!
