i see a little list of only six.

question 1: this is hardly a comprehensive list, is it?
there's no explanation in the handbook why it is so short.



That configuration screen only shows ancient ISA cards that cannot identify themselves to the system. Any modern NIC (either PCI or Cardbus) will be autodetected. Basically you can just plough on reguardless with your install and all of your network interfaces should be picked up.

again, thanks everybody.
there should be a note to this effect in handbook.

how does one submit a sug for handbook?
