It's (usually) much quicker searching the kernel documentation (if installed) or failing that, a search engine. Although, worryingly, I couldn't find any references in the kernel. Perhaps its a clone of a more well-known chip set. The search engine www.google.com lists 4 links - 1 broken link, 1 english text regarding linux ethernet drivers, 1 in Japanese and one FTP directory containing (presumably) the DOS driver. The linux link contains a broken link to a file 86c916.c - perhaps you could mail the author. My advice would be to plug it in and see what happens. If it's a PCI card, the BIOS should report its vendor and device numbers. If it's ISA PnP, then I think pnpdump should give you similar info. It would also be appreciated if your subject line was a bit more verbose than "?" - it's a high volume list ;) Good luck. -- Regards, Paul
