eexpress is broken on kernel 2.4.18-27.7.x also. Patch in the next attachement seems to solve the problem (this is from 2.4.20) for me. Created attachment 91057 [details]
Fix for broken eexpress support in 2.4.18-26.7.x and 2.4.18-27.7.x

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0; H010818) Description of problem: After upgrading to kernels 2.4.18-24.7.x (i think) and then 2.4.18-26.7.x the eexpress ISA NIC fails to receive or transmit IP packets consistently. I have successfully fallen back to 2.4.18-19.7.x and it works quite happily. The eexpress driver loads okay in all cases but pings, etc fail on the higher level. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.18-26 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Reboot off kernel-2.4.18-26.7.x 2. Ping anything connected to ISA NIC for whic eexpress is the driver. Actual Results: Pings fail Expected Results: Pings should work Additional info: Any assistance greatly appreciated.
