Hi Doug; I would suggest that you do through the debian-user and debian-devel message archive lists (ie: on debian.org). You have probably "been hit" by the "perl problem". An "apt-get upgrade" may or may not (at this point) bring things to a "sane" point. Those of us that are using "potato"

Ok, I went into modconf and select "net" and "ne". It said that this module was currently installed on my system. It gave me two choices, Exit or Remove the module from the kernel. Where do I specify the io-0x300? I do not see anywhere in the modconf that allows me to edit anything. Doug J

Thanks for the reply Jim! I have a standard NE2000 card (cheap one I got for about $20). Everything was working fine until my last moves that I described below. My network was working after the potato upgrade until I "fixed" the last two problems taht dselect caused. I rebooted, and the netwo
