Intel EtherExpress Pro Detected as 82595-Based Ethernet (126355)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q126355 SYMPTOMS
When you install an Intel EtherExpress Pro network interface card in your
computer, Windows 95 detects the card as an Intel 82595-based Ethernet
card.
CAUSE
Windows 95 cannot safely query the EPROM on the Intel EtherExpress Pro card
while attempting to detect the network interface card that is installed
because the EtherExpress Pro card may be in use. As a result, the detection
routine cannot determine the card's Vendor ID and cannot identify the card
beyond the fact that it is an 82595-based card.
RESOLUTION
Do not try to redetect the network interface card. Windows 95 uses the
same drivers and configuration for EtherExpress Pro cards and 82595-based
Ethernet cards. The only difference is the description of the card. None
of the EtherExpress Pro card's functionality is lost.
