That's why I thought that diagnosing with Knoppix would be just the same. If the card worked, say, with a newer kernel, then it would be easy to solve the problem and save the card with a simple upgrade to Debian Sid. > Also, in your system, what happens if you just > > modprobe sis990 > > This thread has gotten very long and complicated and I feel like a lot > of information is still missing.

Thanks for your help. I'm attaching the file ethernet-enquiry.tar.gz, that you can unpack with `tar xzvf ethernet-enquiry.tar.gz'. It's only 12Kb. There are all those outputs: dmesg ifconfig -a uname -a modprobe sis990 lspci -nnk for the two different systems Debian Etch and Debian Lenny on the same machine from two different partitions. I wish the card could work again, or else I shall buy an usb-ethernet adaptor and hope it will be all right. It is necessary for me sharing files via ethernet from one machine to another. Bye Rodolfo
