[ltp] Ethnernet problem with new Thinkpad & Debian Woody

[Mitch Maltenfort]

I have a nice new (arrived today) R32 with fast Ethernet and wireless.  

I installed Debian Woody 3.0r1, purchased from Cheapbytes.

The install took an hour or so, not counting false starts.  It seems to 
work, except I can NOT get it to pay attention to the cable modem.  I've 
already tried rebooting both.  Is there something I need to do to get them 
talking?

Can anyone recommend a solution -- or a different distro I should be 
trying?  I currently use Mandrake, on the Toshiba I use to compose this.

Thanks in advance.
