hi,
        this board (based in i82595FX) isn't supported by eexpress driver
but by eepro one that is made for '595 chipsets. the board is already
working with some fixes but it's still unstable in high loads (5 icmp
floods at same time by the same machine using a rtl8029 it hangs). i'm
cleaning up the code to send the changes to this list but i'm still trying
to avoid things like if(etherexpress10). Thanks,
