Don't know. All I can confirm for sure was that the problem, as I
experienced it, affected one model of card and a wide range of motherboard
models / manufacturers. It _seems_ NIC related to me.
I cannot, however, say that this affected ALL of the motherboards I
installed the cards into, since I really don't remember the ones that
"just worked". I might have put the card in the first slot, and I might
not have.

I don't think that's the problem. My friend, Jim, bought one of those
cards and couldn't get it to work in his brand new motherboard less than a
month ago. However, a LinkSys or SMC card worked just fine in any
slot. (The SMC is a card I was given, I keep it around for testing and
temporary used. He exchanged the Netgear for a LinkSys)
