What you need to do is make sure the system loads the right driver. The
kernel has a whole section called "Tulip family network drivers", of
which one option is "Davicom DM910x/DM980x support". The module is
called "dmfe". I think that's what you're after - if you want to be
sure, send us the PCI-ids (hex-numbers printed out by lspci -n) of the
Davicom device.

I'll do that -- tonight is the earliest

You didn't say anything about which kernel version you've got, so you
may or may not have this module. Try "modprobe dmfe" and let us know
what it says - optionally post the last few lines of "dmesg".

suse 10 boxed (whatever kernel version it installs) -- but I will get
the modprobe data also and post it.

I may also use the "reintstall cd" to put everything back as from the
factory, just to see the nic info
