Had the same exact problem with a 3com 3C509 card. I know that the card was good, but
I switched it with a 3C905, and upon bootup Kudzu, detected it and installed it. Now I
dont get any errors. Is is possible the 7.0 does not like old cards?

Subject: [newbie] eth0 initialitation failed
I�m new using linux and I have troubles with my ethernet and with my video
card. The video card isn�t too much important because I can use and standard
vga and a I think hat the problem is because it is an intel i810.
But need my eth0 running and I don�t know what to do.
At the start up say "Bringing up interface eth0... Delayin ethernet eth0 ...
FAILURE" This had say always except the last startup that it only said
delaying eht0 FAILURE.
I go to Lothar and it doesn�t say anything about my ethernet card... and in
the netconf I try to configure the DNS and all but I don�t know what happen.
Have I to install a driver or what? If it is the solution I�d like to know
where to obtain and how does a new driver installs.
Please answer me with all datails... I�m new doing this things.
Thanks.
Luis.
