I had the same problem, with exact the same card. It seems the smc-ultra
driver doesn't detect it anymore since the 2.2.xx kernel series. The
reason RedHat 6 found it is its old 2.0 kernel, but as I wanted Debian
and a more recent kernel, I swapped all my smc8216's for any other nic
with different people that use windows anyway...
