When do this errors occur?

1. check if the card is really used by Linux
 cd /proc
 cat ioports
 cat interrupts
 cat modules

2. check the networkconfiguration
 route -n
 ifconfig

(the above errors could be from /etc/init.d/network)

/etc/modules and
/etc/conf.modules

Hardwaredetection is IMHO nothing distribution, but kernelversion specific.
