I had a similar problem when I got a new computer back in march. I was trying to run a 2.2 kernel as well, but for some reason I couldn't get the NIC modules to work. What finally did work is that I upgraded to a 2.4 kernel. For whatever reason, that worked just fine. If you'll look at the list archives, you're not the only person having trouble getting a 2.2 kernel to make his NIC work under Debian. I have a strong suspicion that there is a nasty bug in the 2.2 kernels, or maybe just the debian builds of them?
At any rate, try upgrading to a 2.4 kernel and see if that fixes it. My $.02. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen W.
