But does it even show your USR device at all?

The SCO drivers are no use to you - it is not the same for Linux.

As I said earlier, I could find no technical info on the USR997900 cards. And
various Google searches and checking of hardware compatibility lists didn't
turn up anything useful. I have emailed USR tech. support asking them for
the chipset specs.

In the meantime, as outlined earlier, it might be easier to get the built-in
NIC card working instead since it appears to be supported in Linux by the tlan
driver.
