I haven't the faintest idea. I don't speak hardware -- much less try to
handle it with trifocal fingers and arthritic eyeballs. I've never so much
as gotten a case off a computer without breaking something trying to get
it back on.

OK, fine -- how do I find out? The hardware browser I see in FC6, or what
looks to me to be one, is very different from what used to be called that
in FC 1 - 5; but I do have a way to open something that I think will tell
me -- once I know where and how to look. So how do I know a network card
when I see one? I bet it isn't called that.

And what command a/o log will tell me whether modules (modules??) are
loading? I'll be glad to do the work and report, once I know how.
