I did try it, but it didn't work. In fact the NIC is not detected at all. I
did look on Google at the time, and I noted that at least one person
mentioned it should work with the fxp driver, and someone else mentioned the
tlan driver.

I should mention here that I ``believe'' the card is a NC3131. We have two of
these machines, and my Windows-running colleague tells me that is what it is.
The card itself has dual ports, so possibly this doesn't help. As I mentioned
it's not really a problem per se, but it would have been the icing on the
cake as far as installs go.

Cheers,
John.
