[sorry Ian, couldn't seem to write back to you directly, and anyway
seemed relevant to the whole list]

hey, this might be the problem -- I did apt-get udev at some point in
the evening last night! (though haven't fiddled with it yet). Do you
happen to have the relevant rules handy -- I haven't looked into udev
yet, really, so I could use a guide.
Isn't udev supposed to be for hotplug stuff? Why does it apply to PCI
cards?
anyway, thanks for the tip,
matt
