First of all, the K-class machines don't have PCI.  So lspci isn't ever
going
to show anything.  What does dmesg show?

I know many HP-PB boards aren't supported; perhaps this is one of them.
Anyone else know for sure?

Still, you should have the onboard 10Mb/s ethernet port, which is enough
to get the install going.  But you may need to read this first:

Note that the line-wrapping is slightly scrambled on the web page.
