Dell Inpirion 2500 256mb ram 867 mhz cannont get the laptop network card up. liveCD, HD Install, do not work. I checked the dmesg and did not see anything about the network card. I checked the bios and minipci lists modem and I cant change it. No lights on network port green or amber. I am thinking that the port is bad. Its not loose or anything. I think it might be a 3com according to the Dell website. 3Com 10/100 & V.90 LAN Mini-PCI it has a ethernet port and a modem right next to it on the right side. If there is anything I can do let me know. Its just to help a friend get online. I plan to use a pcmcia network card if I can find one tomorrow. I will check back in the morning to see if there are any suggestions. I am not sure if this is supported by DSL. Other than that DSL ran great on the notebook.
