Sorry for the delay in response.. I hope you are still reading this list!

I successfully got my digiboard to install using the drivers which come stock
standard with the linux 2.0.x kernels. For the record, the version I am using
is:

Digiboard PC/X{i,e,eve} driver v1.5.7

Just make sure you aren't running into some sort of card base address or IRQ
conflict. When you do, the driver doesn't make if very apparent what is
actually mucking up your otherwords cheery day.

Btw, I am using the Xe as well, so I know this works. I just noticed you are
using the PC\4e and it is not supported by the driver I just mentioned. I don't
think the digiRel.101a is supported either. Honestly, I couldn't get the
digiRel.101a to work. After speaking with a representative from digi, he
suggested I use the driver distributed with the kernel distribution.

Hope this helps,
