I have been playing with Fedora Core 5 for a while now and I have

wireless card and the device name
that the laptop gave it was dev35623. Every time I ejected and
inserted the card a new number would appear. I just assumed that the
card wasn't supported or only partially supported. Yet today it
happened again but this time it was on a desktop with 2 Intel Express
Pro 100 cards.
The first card showed up as eth0 (like usual) the second card showed up
as dev904. I can
ifconfig the device as:
