I get to:
[E1000]The EEPROM Checksum Is Not Valid
Probing isa nic...
<sleep>

So, it looks like its failing during the probe.

You are correct. In fact, I'm looking at about the 2 week time-frame. My 
boss okay'd me spending some money on it. I figured that may motivate 
someone!  =)

It being a new card, I don't know of many other people that even have one. 
I realize I'm asking a lot for someone to be able to code and let me try, 
but you never know until you ask.  =)
