I've got two of the cards myself, havn't been able to get either one to
work with 7.0. It appeared to be autodetected but with a different name
then what I would have expected, but when going into the network config
portion of the inital install it would say no network card available (or
something to that affect). Anyway, no go on my system. I swapped the cards
out of my windows system and used it instead.

The more we disagree, the more chance there is that at least one of us
is right.
