Hi Nate,

It is the same Linksys card that is already recognized. CentOS effectively
uses the Linksys as ADMTek NC100 for Linksys immediately recognized with
no problem. It just will not recognize this third card at all, not even
seeing it using lspci, which shows no Ethernet controller for the same 3rd
card ..


does LSPCI not even show the 3rd card?!?


each PCI device has A) a bus/card/function # (determined by the motherboard slot and such), and B) a vendor/device ID # (hard coded on the card)

a typical system...

the first field is the bus.slot.func number. on this particular server, bus 00, 03, 04, and 05 are on the mainboard, while busses 01 and 2 are actual PCI slots, this machine actually has 3 SB Live cards plugged into it as its a sound processor. bus 03 device 06 and 08 are the onboard broadcom ethernet controllers.

this i the same system shown in numeric form...

for an example, 14e4 is broadcom's vendor ID and 14e4:1645 is the broadcom bcm5701

these are what the OS actually works with, the vendor:device ID is matched up with the device driver database

I hope this helps.
