Next message: Tom Yarrish: "Re: [LUNI] What's the real deal with network cards"
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 :-/.
