Networking :: linksys card not working



hi all i am runing dsl as a live cd on an old sony viao desktop and i cant get the network card to work.  it see's it in the pci list but when i want to configure the lan card it says no card detected.  im pretty new at the linux thing but i did manage to get debian running on another computer.  any ideas would be apreciated
Specific laptop and network card model number please.
it is a linksys LNE100tx   vers. 4.1  in a old 450mhz sony desktop not a laptop, it is the only card in the pc
Hmm... I have a Linksys LNE and it works fine. Try this. Open a terminal window and type:

sudo su
modprobe tulip
netcardconfig

Choose DHCP = YES if you have a standard network configuration (no static IPs required)

and hopefully it should be working.

nope that didnt work,  was i supposed to get some output with the modprobe tulip comand, with the netcardconfig comand i got a failure.
