Ah, not necessarily. What was given was the output of lspci, I'm pretty sure
(sorry, deleted that message!) - lspci merely uses PCI standard queries to
get info on any card connected to the system. That the kernel recognises that
PCI device number xxx is a card reporting itself as a "Sweex PCI Lancard" is
a LONG way from having a driver for it loaded and recognising it. lspci just
tells you that the card's connected, not that the OS has managed to *do*
anything with it.
