It's probably a v4 LNE100TX, which is newer than the Debian install
procedure :(
What does 'cat /proc/pci' give you?
When linksys ups the revision on their 100Mbit ethernet cards, that means
they've changed the ethernet controller chip on the pci board.
Unfortunately that also makes any currently available drivers useless :(
There should be Linux drivers on the floppy that came with the card, but
they're in source form and that doesn't help you installing the drivers :(
