| PCI Ethernet for Quicksilver 2002 My ethernet port got fried in a storm. Now I want to put in a PCI replacement. I've tried 2 cards available to me, but they don't work. In fact, *nothing* shows up in System Profiler-> PCI Cards. Is this the normal behavior for an unsupprted card, or does it sound like there might be a problem with my PCI controller? The bus *is* providing power, as the lights on the boards do come on. Does anybody know any cheap currently available NICs that work in the Quicksilver 2002?  |

| This D-Link card works in my PowerMac G4 PCI, my PowerMac G3 Blue & White, and an old PowerMac 7600/132 -- it has also been tested in my buddy's Dual-1GHz MDD G4: http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=122 Didn't require drivers or anything. Simply plug-and-play. YMMV, though -- if your PCI bus is truly fried, then, as you've stated, it doesn't matter WHAT PCI card you put in there, as none of them will be recognized!
