Subject: problem detecting ethernet card
I've been working to get my new DSL connection working and am having
trouble getting my ethernet card autodetected. It's a plain vanilla
Intel chipset using the eepro100 driver. My system has the driver,
but it doesn't load the module automatically. Alan figured out that
if we do "modprobe eepro100" then "ifup eth0" I'll get a connection.
But if we reboot, that detection/configuration is lost and has to be
done all over again.

In Vector, based on Slackware, I was able to put "modprobe eepro100"
into /etc/rc.d/rc.modules and the settings held after a reboot. What
would be an equivalent file or command to use in Debian?

TIA,

Siri Amrit
