Correct, we only support PCI-connected network cards. This includes CardBus and most on-motherboard adapters. There are technical reasons behind this, but the practical reason is that non-PCI adapters are old and slow. (Exception: USB is merely slow ;-) My list has the de435 as a 21040 PCI card. Is it actually an EISA or ISA card?
