Sounds like you just need to load the ethernet driver for the card you have. This is done in modules.conf: alias eth0 de4x5 But under Debian, you need to add each entry to an individual file under /etc/modutil/* then run update-modules and it writes a /etc/modules.conf. You could run lspci to determine the ethernet card driver needed, then look in lib/modules to make sure you have the module. > I'm new to debian but already love apt-get.
