Keith,

If I remember correctly from the days when I had a Compaq (been 
a few years now), it seems that a lot of the compenents in the 
machine are Compaq branded.  My modem was a 'compaq' modem, as 
was the motherboard and the bios.  I don't know if they actually 
manufacter the chipsets (seems unlikely), or bully some other 
company into letting them call the stuff their own.

Have you tried Redhat's hardware database on their website?  As 
the other poster suggested, lspci may help.  It should be seeing 
the card as a pci device, and tell you how the card identifies 
itself.

On my machine it is /sbin/lspci.

What does it say?

HTH,

Tim
