Networking :: No network connection on HD install



DSL 3.2 syslinux connects to the internet when used  'live' on a an old desktop with no other OS installed. Yet on a HD install I cannot get past the router. I have used Netconfig to try various configurations of DHCP (including 'auto').
I found one post that suggested that DSL 3.1 would work, but not so. Same problem.
Since the network card works 'live' what am I missing to make it work as a HD install? Any help appreciated.
What kind of net card?
Do you know what module(s) were detected and used from live CD?
Perhaps posting your lsmod.
There does't seem to be a netcard. It looks like the network connection is part of the motherboard. Here are the lsmod outputs for both the hd install and the 'live' disk.

I have the dmesg output for each if that can be of help

Looks like its not in use here, did you try to set up the network for it? (ie netcardconfig)
Yes, I attempted various configurations of netcardconfig, including the 'auto' DHCP setting. "auto" works in the live form but not in HD install. Neither did any other IP setting combinations (netcardconfig) work in the HD install.
