(the "guide" on the accompanying floppy > specifies 8139) Have you tried system-config-network? It may be that it's old enough to be an ISA-PNP card, and that won't show up in lspci. Check dmesg to see if the kernel detects an ISA card, and then try configuring it via the s-c-network utility. I have a RealTek on the mobo in one machine and an old 3com ISA card in the same machine. The system won't detect the 3com card, and I have to use s-c-network to set it up. --Wolfe
