It is. The settings on the PnP page of my Bios are:

PnP OS Installed: NO
Resources Controlled by: Manual
Reset Configuration Data: Disabled

IRQ's;
3	PCI/ISA PnP
4	PCI/ISA PnP
5	Legacy ISA
7	PCI/ISA PnP
9	Legacy ISA
10	PCI/ISA PnP
11	PCI/ISA PnP
12	PCI/ISA PnP
14	PCI/ISA PnP
15	PCI/ISA PnP

DMA's;
0	Legacy ISA
1	Legacy ISA
3	Legacy ISA
5	PCI/ISA PnP
6	PCI/ISA PnP
7	PCI/ISA PnP

Used MEM base addr: N/A
Assign IRQ for USB: Enabled

The three IRQ's and DMA's set to legacy were to allow my Crystal sound card 
and USB port to play nicely together.

So, I ask again, why won't the 2.4.16 kernel use my network card when the 
2.2.20 kernel does with the same Bios settings?

I gave up Windows because I hate dual-booting, but right now, that's the only 
way I can access the Internet AND my DVD. Boot 2.2.20 for Internet access and 
re-boot 2.4.16 for DVD access : (

I'll worry about why my 32M GVX1 card runs tuxracer so slooooow later. At 
least KDE loads in decent time now.

Cheers,
