Go ahead and get the new card, but that won't solve your problem. You 
have to get the source for the most recent (I run 1.2.8) Linux kernel, 
and compile it. Part of the setup process for compilation will ask you if 
you want to support BIOS32, and you just say yes, and three hours later 
(on my 386 @ 40 w/ 4meg RAM) you have a kernel version that supports it.
