Can't get Intel 82557 Network MiniPCI working
I have an old Gateway Profile 3 machine. I have loaded PCLinuxOS MiniMe p.93a on it and everything seems to work except for the network interface. It used the intel eepro100 driver and while eth0 seems to be configured I cannot reach the network. It seems to fail to properly use DHCP. I tried loading the e100 driver via the control panel but it fails. I installed the latest version of the e100 driver and it still fails. The network works as I can plug a windows box into the same cable and it reached the network fine. Any help would be appreciated.
lspci reports 8086:1229 (rev 09), which is the Intel 82557/8/9 rev 09 board. The actual board is a Xircom MPCI3A56G-100P MiniPCI adapter.
