I can answer this, I just installed 4.6 with this exact card. :)

What I did was to leave (and you may not need to, but it is what I did) t=
he=20
ed0 device in the kernel, then later in the install it should ask you if =
you=20
want to install any other network devices. If your card is installed prop=
erly=20
and the system recognizes it, it should be listed there. Select that devi=
ce=20
and continue with the install.

I'm sorry, to much of a novice to answer your second question. :(

Hope this works out for you,

Tim
