ALSA, AWE32, kernel 2.6 issues?
I recently upgraded my kernel from 2.2 to 2.6; various other problems eventually required a complete OS reinstall. I can't get my sound card (Creative SB AWE 32) to work with ALSA; it worked fine under OSS. Is there anything special about Debian that may require me to configure things differently from the ALSA documentation?

Try to modprobe the 3c509 and/or the 3c59x kernel module. Maybe the device will be created then, or you get an error message which gives us a clue. modprobe 3c509 /sbin/ifconfig/eth0 up dhclient and I can connect out! Thank you to all who helped! Now I just have do a long download of everything... Any other likely gotchas that may occur because I installed on a different computer?

Try just '/sbin/ifconfig' without the eth0 appended to it. What is the output of a 'lspci |grep Ethernet'? That should tell you if the new box' ethernet controller is recognised by the system. /sbin/ifconfig only lists loopback. lspci | grep Ethernet yields nothing. The card is a 3c509.

Compare the output of ifconfig with the line auto eth0 or similar in that file. The /etc/network/devices lines related to eth0 were: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp /sbin/ifconfig/eth0 up gives response eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device. What does this error message mean, and how do I fix it? apt-get is a great program, but it's nearly useless until I can get my internet connection working.

Compare the output of ifconfig with the line auto eth0 or similar in that file. James How do I rerun the program that generated /etc/network/interfaces ?

rerunning autodetect
For various reasons, I had to run the installation on one computer, then transfer the hard drive to a different computer. How do I rerun the code that autodetects hardware (specifically the netword card)?
