Hi,

I installed , for my first Debian try, Debian Sarge from the "LinuxUser"
magazine's DVD. After some hurldles it worked but:
did'nt configure any network card, eth0 etc.
When I try to configure with modconf from the debian KDE set, I don't know
which driver to choose, and try-and-error with this long list of drivers
doesn't make sense...
I have a Dell Dimension 8300 with a ethernet controller onboard, and the
system info tool in kde detects:
"Ethernet controller : Intel Corp.: Unknown device 1050 (rev02)
Subsystem : Dell Computer Corp. Unknown device 0157"
 

Looks like your kernel isn't recognizing the ethernet controller. IF 
you're running a 2.2 kernel, you might try upgrading to a 2.4.
