Help with network card

Hey all,

I am a newbie to this so please have mercy on me and expain the solution in simple language.

Did this just start happening? That is, was the NIC being recongised before?

What kind of NIC is it? I know PCI and Linux don't always get along that great. Did you try moving it to a different slot just to make sure this isn't a hardware problem?
