The PCI slots work. I put a couple of DEC networkcards and a ATI
Mach videocard in it, and those are detected.
So it is something with this card, it being not plug and play the obvious
reason.
I managed to compile a recent 2.4 kernel, but dhcp doesn't work anymore.
I can vaguely remember dhclient to be major kernel version dependant, so
I'll try to look into that tonight.
