All the "Unknown device" lines I see indicate to me that your hardware is too new for your kernel to recognize it. What kernel are you running (uname -a)?
You might want to upgrade to a newer kernel: apt-cache search kernel-image-2.[whatever, such as 4]find a kernel that matches what you need, for example kernel-image-2.4.24-1-k7 for a 2.4.24 Athlon-tweaked kernel, and
install it with a command like: apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.24-1-k7 follow the on-screen instructions reboot If all goes well, hopefully you'll now have networking.Of course, this assumes you have a newer kernel in your apt sources (probably CD?). If not, you may need to try setting up dial-up and grabbing the new kernel via ppp. Or you can boot into Knoppix/Morphix/etc, and if it sees your network, manually download the kernel image and any dependencies (quite painful, but I've done it at least twice) and install them with "dpkg -i <package_name>".
