It might sound a stupid question, would info about Intel Corporation 
82443BX/ZX 440BX/ZX PCI to AGP bridge be interesting too ?

Is the info in the details given above ? If no, where can I find it ?

Sorry, what do you mean ?!

So now, is the info I provided enough to get a better of why I get no 
ethernet nor sound working at all ?

Thanks so much anyway ! I clearly can't do without any of these (as I 
intend to use my laptop in class with my students and would like to use 
Uuntu. That would be an enticing way for them to get interested in Ubuntu !)
