I've been using Intel EtherExpress Pro/10 PCI cards since 2.4 or so, and
they were being detected just fine (fxp*). however there seem to be a
problem when it's on isapnp.

heh.. sounds common, but I had such problem with i/ether pro/10 pci cards
on linux. (and it was visa-verse, wanted to use bnc all the time), I had
to hardcode tp in the driver to make it working for me. No autodetection
tho..
