First, I need to point out that this is not the dsl-n forum, but rather the dsl forum. DSL-N has its own forum, at http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/dsl-n/f

The driver you need is forcedeth.ko. It is open source and comes with the kernel. Also, you have it. I checked.

Does the following command, run as root, help?
Code Sample
modprobe forcedeth


If not, here are a few links that might help you figure this out.

Here is another post where someone had the same problem as you, but with an older DSL version.
