Horst, Could you find out the PCI Device and Vendor ID numbers?
Some bios implementations will display that information as part of the bootup sequence. Or, if you could put that network card in a machine with a hard drive, do a lspci -n and send me the results. Maybe it just isn't in the niclist file.
