A small step towards recovery, late in the day.
My old-old spare PC (a 166 MHz Dell Gn box) has a 10/100 Ethernet card. From installing Linux on that box, I know it is a much more stable and supported card.
So I swapped cards over. The module for this card were there in the Debian kernel already (AFAIK), so I just had to nominate it.
A quick reboot later – not even sure if that was needed – and Networking on DDS is all go again.
Of course, I know that the old Dell Gn PC is probably going to have the same Ethernet issues, but at least my main DDS box is networking okay.
Yes, I’ve simply shifted the problem to another area. Hey, I’m Citylink 🙂
