From a commandline you should do "lspci" to see if it is seen as hardware. Do "dmesg" and look for it there at possibly what driver Linux thinks belongs to it and then "modprobe" that drive. After that it should be viewable under "ifconfig -a" Here is an example I have an Intel 10/100 pci card.

I would then do a "modprobe e100" and check "ifconfig -a" to see if it shows up as a device. To make it work after reboots I'd add "alias eth# e100" to /etc/modprobe.conf where # is the interface number. If none of that works then either you need a special kernel module or a recompiled kernel either way it is going to be more of pain then going out a getting a 10 dollar nic. -Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
