According to this thread:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-knoppix/2004/05/msg00128.html

you should boot DSL with this command:

dsl acpi=off

and your network card will be autodetected and work fine.

Thank you for all the time taken helping me with this problem. Nothing worked.
But then I pressed f12 for a boot option menu when I started the laptop up. Options were things like boot from cd and one was network boot. I tried it and amazingly it seems to have enabled the ethernet card for good. I now normal boot and ethernet works with dsl out of the box. So I guess it was turned off before I did that or something. Anyway, all the time taken to help me is much appreciated.

Thank you kindly:)
