You should be able to use the network card just fine in your 7600. The only PCI cards that are cross-platform compatible are those that are needed for booting, such as video cards and hard drive controllers. The PCI specs are platform independent, so once you have the drivers for a given card for

For the IEEE 1394 subsystems in the newer kernels, you need to run /sbin/rescan-scsi-bus.sh (from the scsitools package) to get any attached devices recognized. insmod'ing or modprobe'ing individual 1394 modules no longer work. I encountered the same issue a while back when I upgraded from 2.4.18
