Yep, hasn't been installed - you may be able to download a SCO driver
from HP. You'll need to install the driver into 'the set of drivers
available to install' ie put it on the hard drive in a place where sco
knows about it, then run netconfig to install the driver for the NIC,
relink, reboot.

If the NIC doesn't get auto-detected you probably have installed a
driver for a NIC you don't have. Try another driver.

After a while this silly dance get tiresome, and browsing the Hardware
Compatibility List and a trip to the store starts to look good. Others
will chime in with their favorite NICs for SCO.
