Before you yank out the ethernet card you can try to boot with the
option(s) "acpi=off" and/or "noapic" and/or "nolapic" appended to the
"kernel ..." line of GRUB. You can press "e" to edit a GRUB entry, then
you can use the cursor keys to select the "kernel" line, press "e"
again, add the option(s) at the end of the line (without the quotes,
separated by spaces if you want to combine them), press ENTER, and
finally "b" to boot. (If this makes the interface work reliably then you
might have some sort of interrupt conflict in your normal
configuration.)
Didn't help. I'm going to pick up a new linksys card. Tomorrow
or later today, I will try a fresh install off of a connection that I know
to be good.

I want to thank everyone for all of the help. As difficult as this is been,
the support confirms my tentative opinion that debian is the way to go.
cheers
