Typical tools used to probe devices and read the details of them are: lshw hwconf To read your PCI connected devices you need: lspci -v If you have the correct drivers for your NIC then it will show up when you= =20 run: ifconfig -a although it may not have an IP address unless dhcpcd is running. If these commands are not on your current LiveCD, burn a Knoppix CD/DVD or= =20 SystemRescueCd or equivalent. They have all these commands available and i= f=20 your NIC is working they would have most likely loaded the necessary module: lsmod will show the loaded modules. =46inally, dmesg | grep eth0 (if e.g. eth0 shows up in ifconfig) will show = you=20 what you card is recognised as: $ dmesg | grep -i eth0 e100: eth0: e100_probe: addr 0x40100000, irq 11, MAC addr 00:02:a5:b6:a1:8f e100: eth0 NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full Duplex If as you say the Minimal CD works, then I recommend that you boot with tha= t=20 and run the above commands making notes what is the NIC module the CD kerne= l=20 has loaded.
