Hi everyone,
I have this lingering problem that I have been unable to solve which I hope someone can help out with. I tried installing Debian on my PC at home and could never get the network card to work. It worked fine if I used RedHat, but I wanted to move to Debian since it is more secure and I feel a better unix OS. The logs never showed any errors and the debian installer, which I could never get past since at the time I did not have any CDs, showed the error immediately after trying, it was almost as if the card was being ignored. We were trying to use the tulip module. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

lspci is your friend. once your system is installed, run that to see exactly what card the OS sees on your PCI bus. After that, see if you have that module loaded using lsmod. Changes are you won't. Compile and install it using insmod and you should be good to go.
