Hi Charl,

it wasn't me who had the problems with that card, but I was merely
responding to somebody else's posting. While I still have no
confirmation, a 32 pin socket might hint at a 27010 chip. Take a look
at http://www.amd.com/products/nvd/techdocs/10205f2.pdf and then use a 
multimeter to follow the traces on your NIC to verify that the pin-out 
of the socket agrees with the pin-out for this chip. You might want to 
look at http://www.blackdown.org/~hwb/menu_ConnectorTop10.html to find 
out what the traces on your NIC connect to.
