    Just for fun (and because I am frustrated and looking for other options
    at this point), I downloaded and installed the Mandrake 9.1 network.img
    boot disk and booted my machine with it.

    It laoded the driver for the network device: National Semi:DP8310 10/100
    Ethernet. Asked me if I wanted to configure via dhcp, asked for a
    hostname, and brought up the network.

    alt+f4 shows
    'natsemi dp8381x driver, version 1.07+LK1.0.17, Sept, 2002
    originally by Donald Becker
    http://www.scyld.com/network/natsemi.html
    2.4.x kernel port by Jeff Garzink, Tjeerd Mulder
    eth0: NatSemi DP8381[56]
    eth0: link up'.

    My Router/DHCP server sees the machine and the machine got the correct
    values from DHCP. (I just dont have enough RAM for the Mandrake 9.1
    install so I am still looking at Debian)

    Is this information helpful?

    Thinker?
