You will need to load a set of Hardware Drivers for the PCI Card or 
your 6500 will not see the card.  If it doesn't show up in the TCPIP
Control Panel, it will NOT be in the AppleTalk Control Panel, either.
Also note, if the System was originally built without an Ethernet
****t being present, some of the System Files required to run 
an ethernet ****t may not have been put in the System folder, and
you may also have to reload the System, again.
