I've narrowed the problem down to the PnP motherboard that I'm using. Apparently even though i turn off plug & play, It still inits all of the PnP cards at startup, which makes it hard for unix to detect the cards. Stupid Asus :(
Any ideas?

I have tried to install both Debian 2.2 and Redhat 7.0 and neither of them will take use of my 3com 509b NIC. This card used to be used in another debian machine of mine and i KNOW that I have selected the proper module for the debian installation, which says it has successfully been installed. After I reboot the machine and login, "ifconfig" does not report a running eth0 and there are no /dev/eth* entries. If anybody has any clue what is wrong here, please let me know. As of now, my only idea is to try to save up to replace the motherboard.
