2.6.0 and Intel Etherexpress Pro cards (eepro100 / e100)

Hm.

Just upgraded to from 2.4.22 to 2.6.0, but am having trouble with my
Intel 82557 card (intel etherexpress pro 100).

I have chosen not to use the new e100 driver (I tried this one first,
and didn't have any joy - that card was detected, but wouldn't ping),
and instead have the old eepro100 driver compiled as a module - just
like I did in 2.4.22.

I get this at boot:

eepro100.c:v1.09j-t 9/29/99 Donald Becker

eepro100.c: $Revision: 1.36 $ 2000/11/17 Modified by Andrey V.
Savochkin <(E-Mail Removed)> and others
PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 0000:02:08.0
eth0: OEM i82557/i82558 10/100 Ethernet, 000:B7:52:B7:90, IRQ 11.
Board assembly 734938-003, Physical connectors present: RJ45
Primary interface chip i82555 PHY #1.
General self-test: passed.
Serial sub-system self-test: passed.
Internal registers self-test: passed.
ROM checksum self-test: passed (0x04f4518b).
eth0: no IPv6 routers present
process `host' is using obsolete setsockopt SO_BSDCOMPAT

When I do ifconfig -e, I do not have eth0 (but I do have a new sit0).
A "modprobe eepro100" gives me my eth0 back, and everything works
fine.

Can anyone give me any pointers as to what I should be looking at /
for to get things working properly again?

Thanks!
