Re: dead NIC, or ...?

[burningclown@burningclown.com]

I'm copying the results of 'cat /proc/pci' below. It seems not to be seeing the 
card at all.

On boot I *know* I'm seeing a message about modprobe not being able to find the 
3c59x module scroll by ... is modprobe not finding the because the card isn't 
being recognized, or is the card not being recognized because of the module not 
being found? Sorry for the lo-level questions, I'm trying to understand. I did 
search the message archive a bit.

Thanks to anyone who may be able to help.

Here's the output of 'cat /proc/pci' :
