No it isn't. Just because it attempted to guess doesn't mean it was able to load a driver or attach a device. If it doesn't show up as a network device it didn't find a driver. Read the device driver code, I bet you wouldn't find support for that revision of the chip in it. Just like the AMD chipset I checked over. Basically, it finds a superset for that chipset but not that particular version so it guesses at detection but isn't able to anything more. Mac: I ran into this on 4.1. -------- Lee Carmichael WAM!NET Inc.
