This may shed some light on the issue and has a driver that is supposed to work. Though use at your own risk.

People try to use the ndiswrapper and use your floppy driver disk. The driver for Windows XP works perfectly here.

I found a similiar problem with the sc92031.
I bought this card from a dealer and he told me there is no warranty for this card.

I could install the card on XP and i am facing the following problems.
1. I can browse the net for 5 min, after which typing www.google.com does nothing but i am able to ping google.
2. Also i am downloading a file from torrent which is unaffected. That means there is not problem with the network.

In linux i have a redhat 9. which detects something on the pci bus but does not detect in the network configuration wizard.

I don't know if it is the card problem or the network problem..?

Can you help with this problem?
