The connection is cable (Comcast.) The problem is that most forms of Debian
reverse the logical names of my nic devices. eth0 becomes eth1 and eth1
becomes eth0. I determine this from comparing the MAC numbers shown in
ifconfig. I have since installed Kubunu from the Kubuntu live cdrom (latest
unstable version) and that configured the nics correctly. Knoppix also
identifies the nics correctly but an HD installation of Knoppix is not
trivial. I no longer have a conventional Debian partition up but I suppose I
could create one just to read off the lspci results.
The error message is of course, "network not found."
