optiplex 390 SFF adding NIC PCI-e x1 not recognized

Question

bought a Rosewill rc-401-ex which fit in the slot, but does not work.

Can't get good answers from DELL support about the specs required for this mobo.

searching at DELL I found a reference to a requirement for PCI-e v2.

I'll get a new card, but want to be sure that I get one that works and doesn't cost $300

when a $20 card should work.

thanks, dan

Then use a USB NIC.  Not sure why you insist on a pci-e card.

thanks for the suggestion.  It is desired to have the fastest most robust setup possible. Not a home setup w/ a cable modem.
