I would like to piggy back on this thread if I may because I am having a similar problem. I recently shut down my linux box and used the power cord for another pc connection as well as the monitor. When I plugged everything back into the linux box and rebooted, kudzu appeared telling me something was wrong with my Network ISA card. I told it to keep the configuration because I wanted to do the research behind why all of a sudden is my network card not getting recognized. When I do a modprobe ne, I receive the following:
/lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/net/ne.o.gz: init_module: No such device or address Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters /lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/net/ne.o.gz: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/net/ne.o.gz failed /lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/net/ne.o.gz: insmod ne failed What is this? How do I rectify Linux Mandrake 8.1 not recognizing my NIC. In the Mandrake Control Center it does not appear nor is it in the HardDrake utility. What could be wrong?

After doing MandrakeUpdate(all packages updated except the 3 kernel related) I lost the network (the 3com ISA 3c509b NIC) I can ping 127.0.0.1 but not eth0 set IP192.168.42.1 [root@myduckbox net]# ping 192.168.42.1 connect: Network is unreachable eth0 doesn't list with ifconfig output but the Network Configurator GUI / tool displays all correct values?
