Has anyone seen or seen reported problems using ethernet boards [any 
variety] with the Intel VS440FX (Pentium Pro) motherboards?

I have tried a number of boards (SMC Ultra ISA, 3COM 3C595TX, Linksys,
Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100 all known good) and they are all "visible" 
from the DOS utilities but both FreeBSD and WinNT cannot "use" them. NT
swears they are not present in the system, and FreeBSD tries to use them
(no errors) but no network traffic flows. 

Intel's developers site has nothing on our symptoms either.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
