that's a first. a winmodem is detected easier then a NIC ..!! wow. I'd suggest booting redhat and do a 'lsmod' to find out what modules are loaded, the network module will probably be pretty easy to single out. then load that module on the debian side(modprobe module_name). If it works then add the module name to /etc/modules to load it each time the system starts up. assuming the NIC is supported at all in the stock kernels. from a quick search it may be a tulip based card, so modprobe tulip may make the interface available. If you were unable to configure networking during installation then you may need to configure that as well, a simple setup would be to put the following line in /etc/network/interfaces : iface eth0 inet dhcp then run /etc/init.d/networking restart good luck nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
