[ale] Which nic?

[Robert L. Harris]

This was the bugger.  I went digging through /proc out of
curiosity after I sent my email.  I've never seen it give 
a specific model but it did list the 905b in /proc/pci...
I had to sue the 3c59x driver but I'm up and downloading
packages now....

Thanks all.
  Robert
