Optiplex GX100.  According to one of the Dell discussion forums, it's
a 3c920, which is supposed to be fully compatible with the 3c905c.
I'm guessing that either it's a bad NIC or (much more likely) the CD
I'm using is a bit too old, as the 3c59x driver refuses to load for me.

Time to make some floppies and see if the current driver likes it...
