PCI Compatibility
Early PCI BIOS versions do not properly support the PCI specifications
and may “hang” when a network card driver tries to load. If this occurs,
make sure your BIOS correctly supports the PCI Local Bus Specifications
(v2.0 or later) and upgrade your computer BIOS to the latest version.

Some PCI computers are not self-configuring and require you to perform
some or all of the following functions by motherboard jumper changes

In some computers the PCI slot must be configured to enable bus
mastering. Refer to your PC’s manual and check the PCI BIOS Setup

Some computers may require you to reserve interrupts and memory
addresses for installed ISA cards to prevent PCI cards from using the
same settings. Refer to your PC’s manual and check the PCI BIOS
Setup program configuration options for ISA cards.
