I'm certain that I reinstalled the OS after I added the ethernet PCI card. It may be a bug in Ubuntu 9.10. While researching the issue, I found several posts by other Ubuntu 9.10 users who were experiencing what seemed to be the same issue, but no work-arounds. On the other hand, Puppy was having the same problem. > If you want to walk away from this with a working system, that you don't > want to mess with any more, that's fine.

That ethernet card took the last open expansion slot and I'd like to regain that. > One thing that didn't occur to me last night is that maybe it's disabled > in the BIOS.
