Just for fun (and because I am frustrated and looking for other options at this point), I downloaded and installed the Mandrake 9.1 network.img boot disk and booted my machine with it.
It laoded the driver for the network device: National Semi:DP8310 10/100 Ethernet. Asked me if I wanted to configure via dhcp, asked for a hostname, and brought up the network. alt+f4 shows 'natsemi dp8381x driver, version 1.07+LK1.0.17, Sept, 2002 originally by Donald Becker http://www.scyld.com/network/natsemi.html 2.4.x kernel port by Jeff Garzink, Tjeerd Mulder eth0: NatSemi DP8381[56] eth0: link up'. My Router/DHCP server sees the machine and the machine got the correct values from DHCP. (I just dont have enough RAM for the Mandrake 9.1 install so I am still looking at Debian) Is this information helpful? Thinker?
