Thanks for the suggestion I will boot with both and compare the output
of lsmod and dmesg. I remember 2 things at least. The old cd uses a 
2.4.x kernel and the code for the network adapter is compiled into the
kernel, whereas the newer cd uses a 2.6.x kernel and the code for the
kernel is compiled as a module.

But I will take a look in about ten hours after I get back from work.
