So I just bought a new presario, and I am trying to get RH7.1 installed.
Once I discovered that the USB controller doesn't play nice, I installed
using nousb, and added the switch to lilo.conf. Sound card works, but the
built-in NIC doesn't.  There don't seem to be any compatible drivers by the
name of "Compaq minipc 10/100 NIC" :) and I can't figure out what the
chipset is on the card.  Are there any diagnostic tools that might be able
to probe that port even though the system doesn't see it as a network
adapter?  Even for windows?  I found some software, but to use the network
diag you have to buy it, and I don't want to pay for something I will only
use once.

Any ideas?
