the drivers are not loaded. you can install the discover program to help or you can load all network drivers and see which ones are in use after you modprobe them all
1) cd /lib/modules/<kernel_version>/kernel/drivers/net 2) for module in `ls *.o`; do modprobe "`echo $module| sed -e 's/\.o//'`"; done 3) lsmod (look for ones that are in use (a non-zero value) 4) manually add the modprobe lines that are needed at the top of the /etc/init.d/networking startup script this has happened to me before as well. there may be other ways, but this will help you find out which drivers you need (blindly). hardware probing scripts like discover or kudzu help as well, but will be hard to install them without network device to grab them from a debian repository ;) good luck, chris On Mon, 2005-05-16 at 12:43 -0700, Donald Perkovich wrote: > Hello. > > I installed Debian 3.0r4 onto a machine yesterday and things seemed to > go alright.
