Unscrew the case...

Sorry, just kidding. What is the trouble? Is this not picked up by the kernel?

What stage are you up to?

Looks like it's covered under the E100 module... I don't know what kernel the deb is using, so you might need a dep person to help. I would have thought this card would have had kernel support already...

hi thanx for reply my question, i am working under kernel 2.4 its looks like it doesnt support "Intel PRO/100 VE"
when i command in #modconf i cant find "Intel PRO/100 VE" on the network section, so what should i do now?
and what u mean be "covered under the E100 module"??
Thank you

Yep... I don't know, it might not be in the 2.4 kernel... The old kernel module driver is called eepro100 I think... If you don't have a module already installed then you might have to compile a kernel, but I would have thought there would have been support for something that common...

Have a look in the modules directory /lib/whatever/kernel/drivers/net and see what modules are there. Maybe someone more deb oriented will know more specifically....
