Knoppix is 2.6.12
Debian is 2.6.8
So the Debian kernel is older than Knoppix

Knoppix may be a distro from Debian, but it is very different in the /etc
structure.
The proper driver (from the nvidia web site) is forcedeth.ko Using
lsmod (Knoppix) it is listed but has a zero as in the "Used by" column
and no description. But it works. Modconf show it to be active.
That same driver is listed as loading in the dmesg log of debian, but
lsmod doesn't list it and grep can't find any reference to it anywhere in
the system except for it actual driver in /lib/....drivers/net/ Modconf
shows it to be active. If I remove the driver the link light goes out.
Reinstall it, the link light goes on. ifconfig shows a working
configuration and a local ping works. Pinging a real address doesn't blink
the network lites and always says that the destination is unreachable.
The Knoppix driver is of a different size than the one delivered with
Debian, but when I moved that one over the symptom didn't change.

That is for sure. However, I am learning Linux at a massive rate, even if
I am not fixing the original problem so far.
