Something else is that even if you don't have PCI slots, some of the cards you have may contain a GSC<->PCI adapter and a PCI device. The 100Mbit & Gigabit lan cards are definitely like this and there may be others. It probably is possible to compile the zalon driver without having PCI enabled but it'll take a small amount of work to verify. -- Revolutions do not require corporate support.
