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.

I tried the mailing lists but no one saw my post I guess. ;-/ 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.
