It is the issue. You don't understand. The ISO you see on line

The CD contains a version of the OS that runs out of a ram disk.
That version of the OS will either support your network device or
it wont. If it doesn't support your device reset the machine
and throw the CD away. You've wasted maybe 10 minutes of time.

I'll burn that iso and give it a try. If it doesn't work for me, then
I can rule this one out.
