[xubuntu-users] Cannot detect any network cards

[motobiker91 at aim.com]

In the BIOS, there is not a "Disable PCI slots" option is there?

  No there isn't, atleast not that i am aware of but I am using a nvidia 
graphics card through a pci slot and that works so I think we can 
assume pci is enabled


Also, look for install OS option and make sure it is "Other".
I can't find this option either
