If you're talking about the one written by John Sullivan
<js10039@cam.ac.uk>, then *yes*. We use EtherExpresses here at
Trinity College, and they crashed all the time until he wrote the
new driver. These days they're almost totally stable.
The only problem with the driver is a tendency to hang one time in
ten when "ifconfig" brings the interface up, but OTOH Intel's *own*
DOS drivers do that too.
If you're talking about some *other* EExpress driver, where and what
is it? I want to give it a try. :)
