don't need the dos disk, the Linux driver sets it up just fine.  What
version of Linux are you using?  I think you need TurboLinux 1.0, 1.2,
1.4J, or RH 4.2 or 5.0.  I don't know if any versions of slackware have
support for it or not.  If you have the 2.0.33 kernel, though, you should
have a module for it.  Try 'modprobe eepro100', and the driver will
autodetect the card, speed, and media type and set it all up for you.
There's also a mailing list..
