I probably do, but since I've been using Mandrake up 'til now I'm not sure 
what tools are available to configure the card.  (I looked for 'linuxconf' 
first thing...!)

No error message, it just isn't able to contact any IP.  

I don't see any dhcp line in /etc/network/interfaces, so that may be 
something I need to do.

Also, if this is relevant, I couldn't seem to use the cable modem when I 
did the Woody install -- although it did say 'you need a dhcp server to 
configure the network' and I just have a Linux box and a cable modem.   
Does that mean I had a problem from the start?

I'm using the eepro100 module.  I selected it during install.  

Thanks in advance for any advice.
