RE: [ECOS] redboot problem

Hi,

My guess is that this card is supported:
http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/pro100_dsktop.htm
It specifically states 82559 controller on the front page.

But also the VE card says in the technical specifications that 82559 is used:
http://www.intel.com/english/network/connectivity/products/pro100ve_adapter.htm

So you would think it should work as well.
