Thank you for your time. The fxp device is PCI. The ISA EtherExpress Pro/10* cards use the ex driver. I am not sure how it does (or does not) work with the Pro/100. See 'man 4 ex' for some more info. Possibly do some more web searching at the site or mail archives to answer your question. It has come up before, but I cannot recall the answer. -- Crist J.
