                      PREMMIA LX P/60 WITH D-LINK PCI ETHERNET CARD

    PROBLEM:        Upon boot up, the Premmia LX intermittently does not recognize
                    a D-Link PCI card.  In some cases the system does not boot up
                    at all and there is no beep or display.

    CAUSE:          There is a timing problem with D-Link cards prior to revision A3.
