'lo all,
I'm trying to run DSL from a liveCD (v2.3), in order to install to a USB stick. Unfortunately DSL seems not to like the NIC i want to use (a D-link gigbbit PCI card). Currently testing the liveCD on a Abit VA-20 board, sempron powered. Knoppx (DVD 4.0) pics everything up fine and dandy.

ifconfig doesn't report any other device than lo.

netcardconfig = no supported cards found.

I havn't used any exotic boot options, anybody got a clue?

Cheers,
Al.

Run lsmod from the Knoppix dvd to see which modules your card uses. Then boot DSL and see if you can find these modules in the /lib/modules directory. If they're there, use modprobe to load them.
