Network card problems (was Re: Distributions (Debian))

[hanasaki]

I have one running great on Debian Potato.  Have you used the tulip
drivers what come with the card?  They are a bit newer than what was in
my Potato.  pci-scan and tulip were both required.  Also, have you
updated your modules file or insmod'ed them?
