    Thanks JP. Somehow that page
    http://localhost:8457/en/HANDBOOK/netcardsN.netcards_list_mfg.html
    is not on any of my systems, but you put me onto finding the complete list,
    which I now have.

    I am puzzled as to where the drivers live. Some cards on the full list do
    not to seem to have a driver listed by netconfig, so one assumes one has to
    download the driver from somewhere. So you go to the manufacturer's sites
    to find no mention of SCO drivers. Googling just points you to the fact
    that the card has SCO supported. The drivers are not on ftp.sco.com

    In days gone by one would have found the SCO driver on the floppy that came
    with the cards, or even cdrom.
    The lack of hardware drivers is becoming very critical for SCO, and to me is
    now SCO's biggest weakness.

    Thank though to Bela who kindly sorted out by wd driver problem. All a need
    to is buy a cardbus network card that is guaranteed to work. I have got my
    fingers burnt once already!
