Ah. That explains it.

I don't think so either. I did a search on the Intel site, and those 
cards have been discontinued for over 8 years now.

E1000 (aka Intel 8254X - series) is the interface that comes on pretty 
much every Intel-based motherboard's built-in NIC for at least the last 
3 years or so. Probably 8 years, since the last series was discontinued.

Anyway, thanks for the (apparently off-topic) help.
