I cannot for the life me figure out what packages to install (other then dhcp, which is installed and running) to try and connect to the net via my router (also a LinkSys product).are loaded, the network module will probably be pretty easy to single out. then load that module on the debian side(modprobe module_name). If it works then add the module name to /etc/modules to load it each time the system starts up.So, I just put "tulip" at the bottom of the list and that's it?
Yes. But if you hadn't already loaded the tulip module (or if you remove it with "rmmod tulip") you can also run "modconf" and select the tulip driver, which will both install the module into the kernel and place it into /etc/modules so you don't have to. Either method should work fine.
assuming the NIC is supported at all in the stock kernels. from a quick search it may be a tulip based card, so modprobe tulip may make the interface available.Did that (thanks to another post in this thread, results in my reply to that one)you may need to configure that as well, a simple setup would be to put the following line in /etc/network/interfaces : iface eth0 inet dhcp then run /etc/init.d/networking restart good luckadded the above, ran above. Output: Reconfiguring network interfaces: done So, I ran (from /etc/init.d/) #./networking stop Reconfiguring network interfaces: done #./networking start Setting up IP spoofing protection: rp_filter.

Can we assume you did not reboot without adding the module to /etc/modules (or "rmmod tulip") before trying this? You might try "lsmod" to make sure the tulip module is still loaded. However, I assume it was loaded when you reconfigured the network interfaces.
I suspect that you think you modified /etc/network/interfaces, but that for some reason the changes didn't get saved or something similar. Do a "cat /etc/network/interfaces" to make sure that the changes are actually in the file. You may also want to add "eth0" to the "auto lo" line (assuming it's in there) to bring up the NIC automatically on bootup (see "man interfaces").
