I have a generic DEC21041 based Ethernet card, connected to a Linksys 5 Port Switch and a NetGear RH348 ISDN Router which acts as a DHCP server. Works great in my normal wimpdoze set up, in trying to move to Linux under KNOPPIX we have a problem.

Running the SUSE 8.1 Live EVAL web browsing works fine, same machine, LAN setup etc..

Running the KNOPPIX CD 1/03 CD, eth0 IS detected at start up, but web browsing and/or anything LAN related does not work.

Using KNOPPIX | Network Configure results in:

Sending DHCP broadcast on eth0
Operation Failed . . .

Under the KDE Control Center it tells me no LAN devices, just shows lo.

From lspci -v eth0 is detected, but no LAN access, no IP assigned.

Comments, suggestions on getting eth0 to work? ? ?

Thanks in advance.

lspci -v results:
