Gentlemen
   Thanks to everyone who made suggestions about how to
get my ethernet card working on ADSL. This was my first
experience with ethernet cards.
   The card uses the tulip driver, and altho the driver
would install, the system would not recognize it, i.e.,
it would not be assigned an interrupt, even with the
PnP OS option disabled in the BIOS. I switch quite 
frequently between W98 and Linux, and discovered that
if I just did a warm boot from W98 to linux, the
interrupt was not assigned. 
   I assume there must be a better solution than shutting
down first. I thought at one time there was some sort of
kernel patch to permit assignment of an interrupt without
depending on the BIOS. If this makes sense with the
problem I have, perhaps someone could let me know.
   Anyway, thanks again to everyone.
