   I have most SUSE levels from around then, but my oldest one was 5.2 and   
   that particular manual is in German.  Are you sure that network card   
   existed back then?  The AMD documentation PDF I found online is from   
   1999 and SUSE 5.2 was from 1998.   
   There is nothing in the manuals (5.2, 5.3, 6.1, 6.2, 6.4) about that   
   network card but that could simply mean it worked without being configured.
