It looks as this is a fairly new card. It's a gigabit, and it doesn't look like there's a kernel driver yet. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=477107 Has some info about compiling a kernel driver for it. But I'd say at this point, it'd be a lot less work to just disable the onboard driver, and slap in a cheap, supported network card (Like, say a 3com 3c905, or an intel etherexpress 100), than try and compile a custom kernel driver, compile a custom ltsp kernel, etc etc etc. Scott -- Scott L.
