>From what I've heard, the 'unknown PCI device' message is only cosmetic and means that it is not identified as a device whose name is in the database file.

I know this is often required, although I have not had to do so myself (PnP BIOS here took care of it). > > It may be that I have another problem that is obscured by the PCI stuff. There's quite a bit of information in the Ethernet-HOWTO and PCI-HOWTO which may be of help here.
