Qs on Intel network card

[Philip Ching (605.734.71) <pching aplcenMP apl jhu edu>]

Hi,

Just received a system with RedHat5.2 preloaded. It comes 
with an Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100 network card (as stated 
on the shipping list). 

After worked on the system for 3 hours, I cannot ping its IP 
address (ping localhost is OK). I called the company who 
shipped the system, and was told that they did not tested 
the network card.

I went to the hardware compatible list on www.redhat.com,
and found out that "Intel EtherExpress Pro/10 PCI" is under 
the Incompatible Ethernet Adapters list. 

Right now, I am not sure if my "Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100" 
card is the same as this "Intel EtherExpress Pro/10 PCI" 
(i.e., not supported under RedHat5.2)?
   
Can some body on the list comment on that? I Sure appreciated.
