Can anyone shed some light on what might be going on with a new machine
I'm trying to get running?  It's a MicroStar Concerto III (6207) with
built-in eepro100.  The manual says it's an 82558, but it probes (see
below) as an 82557.  anyway, it locks the whole machine if I try to use it
under Caldera 2.2.  Relevent data:

eepro100-diag.c:v1.01 7/8/99 Donald Becker (becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov)
Index #1: Found a Intel 82557 EtherExpressPro100B adapter at 0xe400.
i82557 chip registers at 0xe400:
  01003040 03e0e8f0 00000000 00080002 1821782d 00000600
  Interrupt sources are pending.
   The transmit unit state is 'Suspended'.
   The receive unit state is 'Idle'.
  This status is unusual for an activated interface.
 The Command register has an unprocessed command 0100(?!).
