ouch, i think you are out of luck... is it linksys lne100tx v4.1 hardware? i have tried one of those and couldn't get it to work at all... that card uses the "tulip" driver. i don't think they work with linux, i tried getting one to work for 3 days. what i would do to save a lot of trouble is order a netgear FA310TX model, those work first time and use the tulip driver...

I had a similar card that required the tulip driver. To make a long story short, after much compiling of drivers,etc. and no luck I gave in and bought a cheap card that was known to be fully supported in my distro, SuSe 7.0....It was 15 bucks well spent.

If the tulip module doesnt' work, use the old_tulip module. Linksys cards use 2 different chips, one module works with one module the other chip works with the other module. Same thing with the NetGear FA310TX.
The Kingston is the only one I know that hasn't changed chips.
