I am guessing so.  When i turn the computer off, and read all the messages
it says there. It says something about unloading the card, but there are
tons of errors saying /dev/modem isnt there.  (thats the only one i can
remember off hand, but there are others)  An something else that struck me
as odd, is that when i start the comptuer is doesnt say Loading Eth0.  So
maybe it doesnt have it loading at startup.

Yes it does, when i plug it in it beeps and the little red light turns on
that is located on the card.
