My network stoped working, why?

[stanb@netcom.com (Stan Brown)]

	I have a generic 496 running Debian with a NE2000 clone as it's
	Ethernet card. One morning about 4 days ago, the other machines on the
	network stopped seeing it. Not this was probably about the time cleanup
	scripts are run.

	I have swapped the card with a card from another Linux box. The card I
	took out of this box works fine in the other machine, and the one I know
	have in the Debian box was working great in the other machine.

	I have rebuilt the kernel, both with and without loadable modules. When I
	build it with modules I get an error about not finding a file in
	/lib/modules-2.0.27/net. Building it without module sleminates this
	problem. However on boot up I always get some messages about SIO*
	loading? failed because of no such device. I have tried doing a MAKEDEV
	eth0, but this fails also.

	I had also recently upgraded from the latest I-connect CD.

	I out of ideas here. Can someone suggest what to check next please?

	Thanks.
