Sorry, I was out of town last week.  Responses below.

I see the message about the card pretty soon after the SCSI disks are
identified.  Here is the relevant section from my kern.log:

I am sorry to say that I don't know what the last several lines mean.

Neither pci-scan nor natsemi were on my system.  I got the source RPM
from somewhere (probably www.scyld.com) and unpacked it in
/usr/src/RPM.  I built everything and copied pci-scan.o and natsemi.o
into /lib/modules.  Then I made links to those two files in the
appropriate directories:

/lib/modules/pci-scan.o

I am not completely sure, but I probably saw some reference to the
interfaces file on some debian list.  man interfaces has a thorough
description of the contents of the file, and I recall reading it.

Mine is identical.

Neither do I.

Could this be a kernel issue?  I am running 2.2, not 2.4?
