I've just had the same problem. Apparently this revision of the card needs the via-rhine driver from Donald Becker's site. The one with the kernel is too old. You will need to go and download the driver (sorry I forget the site, www.scyld.com/network ?), making sure you have one version 1.07 or later, and compile it yourself. I heard rumours that there was a driver in the 2.4 kernels that would work but I haven't tried this myself. The self compiled one at least installs. HTH Bec
