OK, I just realized this is the 982.
We also had problems with it.
Both in Linux AND in Windows.
In Linux what we saw was similar to this, and in Win2K it did not work at all.

At the time I wrote it off as a bad card, but I wonder..
Maybe a BIOS incompatibility?

We just got a replacement, so I will try to set one up tomorrow and see 
what happens.


With our best regards,
