What network card problems do you have? Is your NIC an ISA card? If so
then I recommend some boot-time parameters to lilo. PCI cards are
recognized and configured much more easily. Does rr use a dhcp server?
In this case you need debian's dhcp-client package.
dmesg |grep eth0 will tell you what the kernel did with your eth0
interface at boot-up, if anything.
