Seeking help using a network card in a PC. The card is a Linksys Etherfast 10/100 LAN card. The PC is a 'home-built' machine, using an Asus P3V4X motherboard. BIOS is "Award Medallion BIOS v6.0". Debian is as installed from the 2.2 official CDs, plus a custom kernel in case it helped - no difference I can tell, the details below are while using the custom kernel. All help welcome, and I'd be happy to give more details.
