I'm doing the install...got my drive partitioned all nice.  But, it seems
that my network card is not supported.  It's a Linksys Instant EtherFast
Series card.  (LNE100TX V5.1).  One forum I read online said to boot with
'bf24' option from the cd, rather than just hitting enter.  Didn't seem to
help.

When I look at the network modules, I don't see any that resemble this card.

Anyone know where to get them?  Or, if this card is nothing-but-trouble for
linux, can someone suggest another card for me to purchase?  I've not had
any problems with this card under RedHat or Mandrake.  And I _thought_ the
card in my other (debian) linux box was the same one.

Anyone else using this card and debian?
