3rd Call for help - Lost network card after Potato Upgrade

[Doug Thistlethwaite <doug.t@deltanet.com>]

Hello,  I hope someone can help me with this.  It seems like it should
not to hard to fix, but without any knowledge of how or where the
network services are started / initialized, I don't think I will figure
it out without help.

I upgraded my slink system to potato using dselect about a week ago.
After
the inital runs through dselect/install/config/remove there weretwo
problems still being reported.

#1 the gcc deb file would not load because of a conflicht with an old
libg++.
#2 setserial would not configure.

I removed the old libg++272 (I think that was its name) and gcc seemed
to install fine.

The error messages during the configureation of setserial said that my
modules needed to be updated and to run
"update-module force" and run configure again.  Well, I did this and the

above listed fix and now my network card is no longer detected.  (Note:
I noticed the problem after I rebooted the system so I am not sure
exactly what is causing this.

I looked in my /var/log/kern.log file and found these differences before

and after the reboot.

The last line in this file has the line (note: the *date systemname* is
acutially the date time and systemname at the time of the reboot.  I
just didn't feel like typing it all in each time).

*date systemname* kernel: ne.c No PCI cards found. use "io=0xNNN" values

for ISA cards.

Prior to the problem (earlier in the file) I had the following:

*date systemname* kernel: ne.c v1.10 9/23/94 Donald Becher (*email
address*)
*date systemname* kernel: NE*000 ethercard probe at 0x300 00 50 4e 03 8b

d6
*date systemname* kernel: eth0: NE2000 found at 0x300 using IRQ 3


Does anyone have an idea of what I did?  How can I get my networking
re-activated?

Thank you for your time,

Doug Thistlethwaite
