I'll have to check. I'm not a computer expert, but at this point it seems
to me that Linux doesn't know the card even exists. I can't try a
different card, because this box only takes ISA NICs and all my spares are
PCI.
Could this message from dmesg have anything to do with it?
apm: BIOS not found.
I'm beginning to think that this processor isn't RH compatible.
