I wish that were the case. I don't see any output of this card, nor does blindly typing CTRL-s get me into the card. The BIOS known there is a PCIe Ethernet Adapter (shows my the details with the assigned IRQ), but it does not seem to trigger the card's firmware - I've tried various BIOS options (e.g. int 19h...), but so far to no avail. *sigh* Thanks anyway! Cheers Carsten PS: Thomas, will you stop over here again on your way to Linuxtag 2009?
