I've been trying to use this as one of the network cards in a dedicated firewall. I got it for free because the physics lab at school was throwing out all their old stuff :). It sort of works, in the sense that I can modprobe it. It will sometimes connect to the internet for me, but it tends to disconnect after a few minutes. And when it does disconnect, I'm unable to ping it until I reboot.

I don't know if it is a problem with my specific card (it might have been damaged or something) or with EtherExpress 16's in general. Maybe someone else has a story to tell...
