[DM-MUG] 6500 and ethernet

[Ray Bowler]

Thanks Dave and CW.

I had a thought and I found two active ethernet extensions--Apple  
Ethernet CSII and Apple Ethernet NB. I was looking for something  
starting with Ethernet. This is a third party card so I suspect that  
the driver for the Apple doesn't work with it. Would that be good  
assumption? I'm going to open it up later today and see if there is a  
brand. I believe it came out of a PC.
