Thanks! I was wondering if I had somehow unintentionally offended you.
Note to others: if I have intentionally offended you, you don't really need to tell me about it.

This step is in substition of the modprobe step. If you complete this one then there is no need to do any modprobe.
As root user, edit the /etc/modules-2.6.11 file
Add '8139too' anywhere in that file. Then save it & exit it.
Top of /etc/modules-2.6.11:
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are
# to be loaded at boot time, one per line. Comments begin with
# a '#', and everything on the line after them are ignored.

This next step is in substition of the netcardconfig. If you complete this one then there is no need to do any netcardconfig.
As root user, edit the /etc/network/interfaces file
Add
Code:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
to the end of that file. Then save & exit it.
Contents of /etc/network/interfaces:
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
# The loopback interface
# automatically added when upgrading
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
Modified Contents of /etc/network/interfaces:
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
# The loopback interface
# automatically added when upgrading
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
Then issue the commands:
Code:
cd /etc/rcS.d
ln -s ../init.d/ifupdown-clean S18ifupdown-clean
Once the changes are made, then reboot & see if the network now comes up automatically.

James, I looked in every "etc" folder I could find and couldn't find a file called modules-2.6.11.
I even tried using the 'find file' utility to first search for that file by name and then to find any file with the words "kernel modules" inside. I searched from the / root folder and didn't find it.
FYI the version of Knoppix I'm using is 2.78 kernel 2.4.27
I did find a file named "modules.conf" under /initrd/etc but the contents look very different.
Maybe we're using different versions with different file names?

OK. I've been testing all of this on a HD install of Knoppix 3.9.
I will do a HD install of Knoppix 3.7 & try it out.

A quick note:
There is a #knoppix channel on freenode, so if you want to go about things in real-er time you could use gaim to get things going, although I'm not sure gaim came with her knoppix.
k->internet->gaim (an instant message client)
add accounts, choose protocol irc and enter a screen name
signon , click on join and enter #knoppix for the channel (no password)
it is very useful when troubleshooting back and forth.

Skip the my other big post as it is related to Knoppix 3.9. I did a HD install of Knoppix 3.7.

Then reboot. The system should pickup the eth0 device & DHCP should automaticaly assign it an address. Do a ifconfig -a to make sure the eth0 device is present & it now has an address
