Yup, the old netflex 2 card was the PCI Lance IC. I've got a
DeskPro 6200 (now the old model with netflex 2) and that
uses the Lance driver but you need the patch to find the
PCI BIOS (as Compaq put it above sky-high !)
With the newer (I've also got a Model 6000) systems, you
still need the PCI BIOS patch. The netflex 3 is actually a
Texas Instruments IC (ThunderLan) which operates in a
similar way to the Lance. So, I'm in the middle of my first
net driver project at the moment and writing a driver for
the ThunderLan. Don't hold your breath - I'm have great
fun breaking things ;-)

kernel proceeds most of the way and the re-boots ?
