Good question. As I mentioned in an earlier reply to an earlier post concerning this, it sounds like Axel is running a 2.2 kernel and needs to upgrade to 2.4.

So, Axel, which kernel does your Sarge have? The command "uname -a" will tell you. And if you do have a 2.2 kernel, you can upgrade with a command like "apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18-1-686". You can see the available different flavors of kernels with a command like "apt-cache search kernel-image".

I have a Dell Dimension 8300 with a ethernet controller onboard, and the
system info tool in kde detects:
"Ethernet controller : Intel Corp.: Unknown device 1050 (rev02)
Subsystem : Dell Computer Corp. Unknown device 0157"

"lspci -v" shows the controller the same way as in Suse and the others...

	What does lspci or cat /proc/pci says about Ethernet controllers?


Perhaps I'm missing something, but the Axel already answered the first part of your question, in the previous paragraph.
