RedHat would find it and load it perfectly, but Debian2.2 wouldn't. I finally figured out that I needed to use isapnp/pnpdump to get the thing configured. Now it loads, but after a soft reboot it looses it again. A cold reboot brings it back to life. Maybe it's just my card, but that's unacceptable behavior. I will probably go down to BB and pick up a cheap LinkSys or something. FYI: # pnpdump -c > /etc/isapnp.conf Cross your fingers... # isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf
