Hi -
   I'm trying to ugrade a NIC on a server running FC-1 (Synced to current
Legacy repo).  Currently the server is on a 3Com 3c980-TX 10/100baseTX
which is running fine, if a bit overloaded.  I wanted to upgrade to
an Intel Pro/1000 MT Server adapter.  The card is recognized as a PCI
device:

 >> /sbin/lspci -vv -d 8086:1026

This is an athalon machine runing the current legacy kernel:
 >> uname -a
Linux XXXXX 2.4.22-1.2199.5.legacy.nptl #1 Sat Apr 30 20:01:22 EDT 2005 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

Intel PRO/1000 Gigabit ethernet support is compiled in as a module.

Unfortunately, the card is not picked up in the hardware probe and I
can't get it up and running.  The card is a PIC-X, but claims it should
be fine in a normal PCI slot - the Moterhboard is an ASUS  A7A133...

Any pointers on how to get this card running? Thanks in advance.
-Karl
