    While working at Compaq (actually the Alpha group not the PC people), I
    was helping a friend with his laptop. We could not get Linux to
    recognize the NIC. I spoke to the technical product managers as well as
    the guys at Conexant (The chip mfr) and Dave Becker. Essentially,
    Conexant told me to go to hell as they did not have the time to write a
    Linux driver or to give the info to Dave.
