What model Compaq Deskpro? We used to have some of these things, I had
problems with the tlan network cards and replaced them with something
else. That was a long time ago, maybe even in the kernel v2.2 days, I'm
not sure if that would still be a problem...

If you let us know the exact model, we can google for it...


Also, try booting the Knoppix disc, opening up a shell, and running:

	dmesg | less

and looking for info about the network card (eth0).

The boot back into K12LTSP and look at the dmesg output there.

Hopefully something different between the two will jump out.
