Hopefully, this helps everyone with this card.  I actually got some
assistance from Linksys on this one:

The drivers I found on the Linksys site work. It's just a matter of getting
it all together.

1. Copy their netdrivers.tgz file to, say, /netdrivers and then decompress
the file

using 'tar xzvf netdrivers.tgz'

2. Run a compile on them by typing 'make' in the /netdrivers directory

3. Now, after all of the error messages (and there were TONS on my machine),
run 'depmod -a'

4. Okay, run 'insmod pci-scan.o' followed by 'insmod tulip.' Assuming you
get no error output, you're good to go. ****BE SURE TO INSMOD PCI-SCAN.O
BEFORE TULIP.O

5. If the modules loaded (and you got no errors) you should be able to run
'ifconfig' and see an entry for 'eth0; in addition to 'lo'. Run the ifconfig
even if you did get errors just to be safe.

6. If your 'ifconfig' shows an 'eth0' is loaded, copy your new pci-scan.o
and tulip.o modules to EVERY directory on your system that has them in it
now. (Run a 'locate tulip.o' and it will tell you where the files are
located.) It will probably be '/lib/modules/2.2.xx-xx/net' AND
'/lib/modules/2.2.xx-xxBOOT/net'

7. Do a 'shutdown -r now' and see if it recognizes the card - it should.

8. Good luck <G>
