Yeah...as a Matter of fact, I just pulled it out of another Linux box
earlier today (system was installed w/ the card already in there).  That box
was running older stuff (Mandrake 7.0).

When I try to do ifup eth0  and it tries to get the DHCP info I do see a few
flashes, but that's bout it.

> Hmmm... Very interesting.  I have been using that card for a while now and
have had no problems.  As a matter of fact all distro\'s that I have played
with have auotconfigured this card without a problem.

before actually trying to obtain a lease through dhcp, have you tried
bringing the nic up and down via ifconfig and watching to see if it sees any
packets on the network?
