actually i spoke prematurely... the card fails to load on startup...
so i took out the details i entered in linuxconf and thought i'd give it a go using
mandrake control centre and it fails on the third step of the configure, when yiou
choose which driver to load.
i'm at a total loss as to where to go from here. i don't really want tohave to get
another NIC as i have 3 (all realtek8019's so can't really swap em around)....
