I couldn't install with the on-board one because the driver is not in the Squeeze install. I was concentrating on the basic problem, and installed an old network card so that the driver would indeed be supplied by the installer. I am beginning to wonder whether I damaged the motherboard when I was installing it. :-( Thanks for your help, Lisi
