Searching on etherjet and linux: The card has a Crystal Semiconductor 
CS8900 or CS8920 chip, used in ISA cards and embedded applications because 
they are small and cheap.  Steven posted cs89x0.o for BL3.50 and Slackware 
7.1 probably also has it for BL2.  Specify io and irq when insmodding.

In DSL terminal type lsmod for a list of modules in use.  How would one 
determine the io and irq from DSL?

If it does not connect, the card could be dead.  Ask your friends or a 
computer repair place for an old PCI ethernet card.
