Have you tried booting knoppix? It is often helpful to try it out, and then
you might be able to tell if it's a hardware problem, or software setup
issue.

if it works under knoppix, try issueing a lsmod from the command line to find
out what modules are loaded. Then, rmmod the ones that might be the network
card, until it stops working, write that one down, reboot and try modprobing
it to see if that makes the card work.
