Problem is solved. I discovered a Toshiba BIOS setting: "PC Card Controller Mode" which has to be set to PCIC (it was set to Cardbus when I found it).

DSL ethernet now activates normally.

It is tricky getting into the Toshiba BIOS. Tap the esc key just after power on, before the memory check. It may take a few tries to succeed. Then 2 lines of text appear. Press F1. The card mode setting is on the lower right hand side of the first screen.

My todo list now includes getting a note about DSL on Toshiba 440CDX onto my webpage, and submitting a link to tuxmobil.

Sorry for leading us down the wrong path, but I did learn something about linux modules. Thanks for your help and patience.

Most excellent post man!!

Can you provide any more details such as IRQ/interrupts of your soundcards and drivers used and stuff like that

They have quite a few sites that list things like these and these will help others if they werent installing DSL

Way to go though man!!

Excellent, Excellent, Excellent

Thanks Brian for your encouragement and suggestions. I have added the results of lsmod, lspci -v, cat /proc/interrupts, cat /proc/ioports, dmesg to the webpage at http://ca.geocities.com/ab876cd/
