Easy way is to buy one the BIOS already supports, plenty on ebay. http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problem_with_unauthorized_MiniPCI_network_card doesn't give much help for X41. There are some suggestions to reprogram IDs in the eeprom of the card, and hack the drivers to work with them, but it's not worth it. > Maybe a supported list should be put in a man page for it or in the > package description.

The disk controllers are also very different.
