Hmm, this particular box doesn't have Windows on it.
It may be a little difficult for me to come up with a box doesn't
have a VIA that also isn't SMP. Since I've had such good luck with
the VIA chipset under Linux, its pretty much all I buy, unless I want
to use Intel SMP.
Is it likely that a PCI bridge problem would cause the card to think
that the firmware that it loaded was invalid?
