    The card isn't being recognized at boot time. I just talked to my bro on
    instant messenger and he told me he reinstalled Windows on a partition and
    the card is working fine. He's brand spanking new at this and my computer
    has always found both my ethernet cards at bootup. I wish I could find the
    answer at the Linux Documentation Project :-/.

    Quoted from the Book of Michael Knoop Ch 6:7-13 on 3/1/01 1:07 PM:
