I have had a disappearing NIC in DrakConfig before...specifically the 3COM
3C509, the other NIC was a 3COM 3C503, but it was listed. Funny thing
is...they BOTH worked correctly, well with the exception of the internal
network card NOT broadcasting to my hub (I was trying to setup a cable modem
share for other boxes here).
Have a look in "netcfg" <--(w/o quotes) and see if the NIC is listed as a
working/identified interface?
