Do you mean a LC475? I have never heard of a LC575. If it is a 475: First off, upgrading the processor is a definate good thing to do, as someone else has said you may have problems otherwise, plus if you use a full blown '040 then you will get a massive speed improvement. There is a version of Debian that will work on this beast (assuming you have a suitable CPU or upgrade to a full blown '040). Onto networking, if it is a LC475 it has a PDS slot, I just happen to have a number of Ethernet cards for PDS slots, want one? (They are only coax tho, no RJ45) :D
