Success! I'm using the onboard LAN connection to write this reply ... I've never been so glad to see the "yellow flag" in device manager (which told me the hardware was finally being recognized).
So it's definite - I'm running on a P4C800 Deluxe (non E). It took a few contortions to get the correct BIOS installed (since I had originally flashed to the E version). AFUDOS was telling me "incorrect ROMID" (or something to that effect), so I EZ flashed to the non-E BIOS, then ran AFUDOS one more time with the correct BIOS.
It took a number of iterations to get the BIOS parameters correct, but everything is up and going, after installing the net adapter driver (and no re-install of Win XP required). I'm actually more glad to be running the correct BIOS than for having the onboard LAN working (although there's probably not a whole lot of difference between the two BIOS).
I'm still getting a POST audio message (not very intelligible), something like "CPU blarg failed", but I can't find anything not looking correct or not working ... so I'll leave that investigation to another day.
Thanks again, Clintfan!
