What MAC address is the driver reading from the cards?

I have seen some Compaq branded Intel pro 100 cards getting there MAC
address read incorrectly!

Make sure the MAC from ifconfig is the same as the one printed on the board
it self.

ok - I have 12 CompaQ EN's sitting next to me aswell. Exactly the same
timeout
problem. 3.5.1-RELEASE also refuses to acknowledge their existence. We have
tried a netgear 10Base hub at autonegotiate and fixed at 10Mbps aswell as
through a Netgear FS 116 16 port switch with the same effect. We tried
locking
the card at 100Mbps which 'seemed' to cure the problem but our solution for
the
time being has been to use Pro 100/10B's.
