Hmmm... it looks like the right version of the driver on their website,
I'll double check.

What version of Linux are you using?  Which package did you get -  the rpm
or the tarball?  What does 'dmesg' say?  I'm assuming when you run lspci,
you see an unknown ethernet controller with PCI ID 170d?

Thanks,
