I´ve just installed the latest version of Debian Sarge with 2.6.8 kernel and i´m having troubles getting my internet connection to work. It seems that Sarge doesn´t recognize my HomePNA-pci-card. I can see it with lspci, but somehow it doesn´t work. My HomePNA uses pcnet32 driver, so that´s not the problem- it is installed, like pppoe, pppd and so on, which are working fine with Mepis, which i´ve got also. But somehow those doesn´t work with Debian

The problem seems to be with Debian that, that there´s some strange ACPI error on boot- messages on startup says something, that there´s ACPI errer on PCi drive- just where my HomePna-card is, and then the light goes down on HPNA-card and it´s not in use anymore. What can be the problem? I´ve tried noacpi-command on boot- didn´t help.

I´ve tried to work with this problem with the instructions i´ve found in web, but those hasn´t helped. The thing is: i´ve got all the drivers needed, and also the right PPPoE-program, but Debian doesn´t somehow get the network up on my PCI-card. What am I missing?
Has anyone got the same problem with HomePna + Debian? Any ideas?

Ok, if someone gets same problem with HomePna pci-card, so here is how it worked for me:

make /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf -file, where you put line:
`options pcnet32 homepna=1`

All the instructuions I found on internet said you should make /etc/modprobe.conf- file, and edit 3-4 other files and blaa blaa, but it doesn't work: all it does is the X won't start on boot. At least on Sarge with 2.6.8 kernel, 2.4 kernel works fine.
