How to Config Your PCI adapter.
-------------------------------
1. Firstly , you must find the PCI configuration item in BIOS setup.

2. There are some key points you must take care of.

a). You should know what slot your adapter plug in. You can find the
slot number in your mother board or its operating menu.

b). Enable this device.

c). Enable "master" this item.
The Macronix MX987xx Family Fast Ethernet Adapter MUST be installed
in a bus master PCI slot. Refer to your system documentation to
determine which slots support bus mastering.

d). You can choose what interrupt line you used in some BIOS setup.
For MXIC' adapter, you must choice "INT A" in this item.

e). Choose what interrupt number you want. You can assign it in what
interrupt you choose or in the slot number you choose.

3. When you finish your configuration. You can run the diagnostic program
in the driver diskette. If any problem, please contact your dealer.

First welcome,

second.... it sound like you are running a older machine. What type of hardware are you running exactly so I know what I am dealing with. did you look in device mangler and make sure that the card isnt seen and its just not the driver.
