Thank you, thank you! And what I gather is that you will have to get versions
of fdisk and other tools that understand reiserfs to get reiser working on an
unpartitioned disk from install itself.

I think even that is possible if you compile reiser support into the kernel
itself, and not as a module. But that is something most people are wary of, I
think.

Look in /proc/pci. You will find the actual name of the card there. For
Realtek 8029, the module to load is ne2k-pci (same is the case for many other
cards). Modprobe it, and it will load the 8029.o module automatically.
If you want to be more adventurous, look in /proc/bus/pci/devices and try to
figure out the name of the vendor and the make from the second field. The 8
digit number you find there is actually made up of two hex numbers - the first
four digits are the vendor id, and the next four the product id. Mind you, you
will have to filter out the network card specific line from there - this file
has info on all the PCI devices on your computer.
