Hi Damon,
During bootup the kernel searches for any expansion cards that contain
a NuBus ROM and prints its content to the console.
Using "dmesg" to view the kernel bootup messages you should be able to
find out what card you have got - if your card isn't one of those bad
ones that don't have a NuBus ROM.
The NuBus slots are probed very early in the bootup process so you
have to look at the beginning of the output of "dmesg".
If your card isn't found during kernel bootup you need to find out the
ethernet chipset by looking at the labeling of the chips mounted on the
card.
As it seems that there is not yet a driver that supports your card in
the kernel you will probably need to use MacsBug in MacOS to find out
where in the I/O adress space the registers of the ethernet chipset are
mapped.
As there are drivers for nearly every ethernet chipset in the kernel
but only a few of them adapted to the macintosh it might be necessary
to do this for your card.
I can try to do so but if there isn't a driver in the kernel for the
chipset of your card I can't help you.

I got Sarge to install on my Performa 6300, but ethernet didn't work.
I am using an internal ethernet card, but I am not sure what interface
it uses. Is there some other driver or piece of software I have to
install to get ethernet working? Ethernet does work in Mac OS just
fine, but not in Debian. But, despite the lack of an Internet
connection, I decided I wanted to install GNOME anyway. So I
downloaded it and all dependencies on my Mac OS X computer, tarred
them, and download them in Mac OS on my 6300. I rebooted into Linux,
and used HFSUtils to copy the files over. I installed and started X,
and GNOME worked but all the colors were off. Is there some method to
fix the colors in X?
Thanks.
