How can i get the winbound and realtek drivers ?

thx

Unless SuSE patched their kernel(s) to include NIC driver modules that are NOT in the standard Linux kernel, then chances are they will work in Debian. If you still have the SuSE install, just inspect the system and see which modules are being loaded for each NIC and duplicate those in Debian. A "lsmod" command will show these.

Any further help would require some more info...like the actual model/make of each NIC, and if they are ISA or PCI cards, etc. What does "lspci" show? That should list all the PCI cards present. If you have any ISA cards, you should also inspect your bootup logs (dmesg), IRQ assignments, and I/O assignments for clues. ISA cards are getting rare, but can be a bit difficult to set up unless you know the I/O and IRQ of each...

Which kernel are you using presently in the Woody install?
