     Hi to all who are/were interested.
     
     I figured this out.  
     
     This card requires that "ChipID   0x4755" be added to the XF86Config 
     file under the "Device configured by xf86Config" section.
     
     I had omitted the "0x" portion of the chip identifier number.
     
     Thanks to all who responded.
     
     dg

Add your ISPs nameserver to /etc/resolv.conf 
See man resolv.conf for details
Unix systems measure "uptime" in years, Winblows measures it in minutes.
