It is very important that you check the dependencies first. If you don't meet
the requirements, this HOWTO will not apply to you, and you may and probably will
suffer a system crash if proceeding.</P

>The various alternatives of this HOWTO will give variable results. I haven't
tested every possible use of the card, but I have had a few experiences, and the drivers
also provide some information.</P
