Normally such indicate a module problem, not anything to do with
firewalling.
It usually helps to start out with what type of NIC you have trouble
with. OK, it's internal. Who made it? What's the model? What kind of
driver does it use? What IRQ and/or IO settings does it have? Most or
all of that can be ascertained in any 'Doze version. Not sure where $2K
keeps its info, but likely some kinda control-panel thingy.
Once you know that it's a matter of finding out if such a driver is even
available in linux, and if it is, whether or not you have it available
as a modules, builtin or nada. Again, without knowing what KIND of board
it is, it isn't even likely you be able to check for module
availability. Sometimes you have to recompile things. Sometimes you can
compile an individual modules, providing you have the source available
to you. Sometimes you don't need to do much more than make sure the
right stuff is in /etc/modules.conf to get it working.
