Oh, cool. How does one know which driver a nic is compatible with, if it's a generic brand? My friend has pci cards that come with a cd-rom, from 3-com, I believe device manager calls it a 3c-595, and he uses the same ISP I use, none of us got dsl yet, waiting on the telco to finish running lines to their end, and whatever else they have to do. The utilities install themself in windows, are these kind of cards plug-and-play? There's no pcipnp tools for linux, just isapnp.
