Woody install ignoring network card.

["R. Clayton" <rclayton@monmouth.edu>]

I'm trying to install woody on an old gateway with a 3com 3c905 network card.
lspci shows the card, but dmsg does not.  The install asks for a host name and
then asks for no further network configuration information.  After-install
configuration fails with either ftp or http because the hosts can't be
resolved; ifconfig shows only loopback.

Both knoppix 3.3 and freebsd 4.10 bring up the system with networking; sarge
fails because it can't find a bootable kernel, which may be because it can't
get out to the network, or because of something else.

Any clues on how to coerce woody to recognize the network?
