 As I said in my ORIGINAL POST, the only thing not detected will be
the AMD Lance (PCNet). And also in my original post (which it seems
some people neglected to even read :P) I also mentioned buying an
alternative ethernet card like the 3Com 595 which will fit nicely into
a PCI slot and work flawlessly..
