Don't know if this will help or not, but...

EtherExpress PRO support
CONFIG_EEXPRESS_PRO
If you have a network (Ethernet) card of this type, say Y. Note
however that the EtherExpress PRO/100 Ethernet card has its own
separate driver. Please read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available via FTP
(user: anonymous) in ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO.
This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be
inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
The module will be called eepro.o. If you want to compile it as a
module, say M here and read Documentation/modules.txt as well as
Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt.
This is from the 2.2.9 Docs.
