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.
