I don't think any of the HP Ethernet cards are supported currently.  I
believe, and I probably have my HP part numbers wrong, that this is the HP
AnyLAN card, which is some pretty odd iron.  I don't think anything but MS
software actually supports the thing.

The system should work OK.  You can try it by booting the boot floppy;
you'll know in a hurry if it doesn't like it.
