I wonder if you have plug-n-play bios?
First list displays a scsi module, perhaps from booting from a scsi cdrom, just before the netcard eepro100. Would be interesting to see the dmesg | grep -i irq before and after, i.e., liveCD vs HDinstalled. Perhaps a different irq is assigned or is now conflicted.

Also, might try, from a root shell, to rmmod eepro100 and then modprobe eepro100 and see if any errors are reported.

I scrounged a netcard from an old computer that was going into the recycle any way.DSL recognized it (eth1) and connected to my provider's server without issue. It's not solving the original problem, but the computer is working and I thank you for your attention.

I have the same problem. My nic uses the '8139too' driver when I run from the live cd and memory. I have tried the full install to the hard drive and the frugal setup. Neither one recognizes the nic. The netcardconfig app reports no supported cards found when I boot from the hard drive. Everytthing else seems to work.. How does the version on the CD find and support my nic when the supposed same system can't from the hard drive?

So far the nic problem is the only show stopper I have with this. I would love to get this resolved and use "DSL" to support older hardware.
