The driver does support your card. Either, your card is really dead, or all the machines you've been testing had chipsets that didn't grok busmasters (but that admittedly sounds odd).

Most busmaster problems are cache-related. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
