Hello,

	I just installed linux on a HP9000/D280. It's all fine, except the =
machine has two eisa fast ethernet cards, with intel 82556 chipset, and =
I can't make it work.
	I've already searched a lot the internet, this list archives, =
recompiled my kernel with various modules, and I am just about to loose =
my faith. I've found a message just like "with this chipset on eisa, =
you're out of luck".

	Is it really so? Does anyone here heard of this nic working on linux =
parisc? Without fast ethernet, I'm afraid we'll have to give up putting =
linux on it.


	Thank you in advance.
