Hi All... wondering if anyone has any clues about the following;

Mate's puter has probs with his network card (Netcomm I think... it's a
realtek chipset of some type), this is what happens;

1. Card stops working, computer doesn't detect card, no 'link' light on
card. Computer doesn't show any error message or anything, it simply doesn't
detect the card.
2. I change the PCI slot where the network card is plugged => computer
detects card and everything works good until....
3. A couple of reboots later exactly the same thing happens

We've swapped the network card with another known to work reliably but have
the same problem. I'm assuming this might be something to do with the
motherboard... but no there's no sign of conflicts or any such thing...
Motherboard's a AOpen KT266 I think. Puter's running windoze xp with all
hotpatches etc.

Any theories out there? I'm just about out of ideas...

cheers in advance
loic.
