Hi Adrian,

Thanks again for your persistence on this. I tried the Ubuntu 11.04 bootable 
CD distribution.

The Ubuntu boot froze when loading network drivers. Ubuntu didn't print out 
exactly which network driver was causing the problem. I therefore removed the 
card  and the system booted OK.

I've got a PCI Express D-Link AR5418 card coming so I'll let you know how that 
goes.

Kind regards,

Geoff
