Problem fixed. I took Steven's advice. I pulled the a fa310tx out of
one of my other computers. Linux recognized the card with no
problems... Moral to this story - use a good networking card :)

if all else fails try the "netgear fa310tx" netwok card. as a pci card
it
should be auto detected and is supported by just about every floavor
of
linux you can throw at it.
