I cannot help you with info on the card, but I can tell you that it's
possible to run a 2.4 kernel on Etch if all else fails.  I have a virtual
server (UML) that was installed with Sarge.  The provider uses a 2.4
kernel.  I have since upgraded to Etch, but still run the same kernel (OS
upgrade without a reboot - how's that!) - it just works...
