Heh, it's funny that you should bring this up because I have been
fighting with the same card/problem at home for a few days now. RedHat
would find it and load it perfectly, but Debian2.2 wouldn't. I finally
figured out that I needed to use isapnp/pnpdump to get the thing
configured. Now it loads, but after a soft reboot it looses it again. A
cold reboot brings it back to life. Maybe it's just my card, but that's
unacceptable behavior. I will probably go down to BB and pick up a cheap
LinkSys or something.

FYI:
# pnpdump -c > /etc/isapnp.conf
Cross your fingers...
# isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf
