ifconfig turns up only a loopback; no NICs. What's the deal?

Stab in the dark...Maybe the NIC drivers in DSL do not support the onboard LAN? DFI's website shows the onbard LAN chipset as this: LAN # Marvell 88E1111 GbE PHY # 10/100/1000BASE-T IEEE 802.3 compliant Does any else have more information? Is there a linux driver for the Marvel chipset that can be loaded after the system is up and running? After a quick Google search < this > link was found and seems to shed a little more light on the issue. Posted by teitoku on Sep. 30 2005,15:48
That looks helpful, but I really don't know enough about linux to pull any info I could myself use from it.
