The tulip command should be successful.
If it fails, the next command (netcardconfig) will also not work.

Try doing this. Post the output of these commands:

sudo su
lsmod
lspci -v

Hmm...

Looks like DSL already detected your card and installed the tulip driver for you, which explains why the modprobe command failed when we tried to load the driver a second time.

How about getting the output of:

sudo su

ifconfig -a

This means your network interface is present and accounted for. You need the "eth0" in order to configure your networking.

So it appears that all of your hardware detection is correct, but your network settings or physical connection is wrong.

Are you sure that your network cables are good and they are plugged firmly into the sockets?

Are there any bent terminal wires inside the sockets? They should all line up nicely just like a telephone jack socket.

Finally, do you know if networking works for other operating systems like Windows on this exact same computer?

If so, you will need to learn your Windows networking configuration so that you can copy it and use it with the DSL linux network settings.
