Can you connect to the network using MacOS? This would confirm whether
or not the Asante AAUI adapter is functioning properly.
Are you using a 10MB or a 10/100 hub/switch? I have had problems with
some of the Mac Ethernet devices failing to link with any 10/100 switch,
but working perfectly with a 10MB hub.

I take it you don't have a 7.5 CD. You can't just copy a system folder
from another system unless it was installed on the other system to
support any hardware. The default install of 7.5.x installs only the
files needed for the hardware on which you are installing. You need to
manually pick the option to install support for other hardware. Hope
this helps.
