Is there any chance that this card has some BIOS (like most graphic
adapters do) which needs to run to put the card into an operative
state (like by initializing any DRAM memory on the card)?  OK, I would
normally not expect such on a 10/100 PCI Ethernet network adapter, but
I don't know this card at all...

Do you know if this card works in any other non-x86 system at all?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
