A DSL/Cable router is not going to help if the lan card is not working properly. You should get your network card functioning first. Make sure your card is supported (check the list of 3com cards here: http://www.linuxdocs.org/HOWTOs/Net-...54.html#AEN956). 'lsmod' may not list your ethernet card if the driver is compiled into the kernel. Check out the 'dmesg' command or look at the boot messages in /var/log/messages (or wherever Caldera puts them). You need to find out if the card was detected at boot-time.

NAME
avmcapictrl - Add, reset or remove active AVM cards and load firmware SYNOPSIS
avmcapictrl add <portbase> <irq> <type> avmcapictrl load <bootcode> [<contrnr> [<protocol> [P2P | <dn1>:<spid1> [<dn2>:<spid2>]]]] avmcapictrl reset [contrnr] avmcapictrl remove [contrnr] avmcapictrl trace [contrnr] [off|short|on|full|shortnodata|nodata] avmcapictrl addcard <driver> <portbase> <irq> [ <membase> [ <cardnr> ] ] DESCRIPTION
avmcapictrl is used to register active AVM ISA cards kernelcapi system and therewith to the isdn system. You need it also to upload the firmware to any active AVM card. If an error occure please also check the kernel error messages by using the command dmesg(8). COMMANDS
add <portbase> <irq> <type> is used to add a ISA card to the kernel-capi2.0 system. The portbase can have the values 0x150, 0x250, 0x300 and 0x340 for the B1 ISA cards, look at the jumper on the card. For a T1-ISA (HEMA) card you can select an wide range of ports. irq can be selected from the following values: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 15. type can be B1 or T1. load <bootcode> [<contrnr> [<protocol> [P2P | <dn1>:<spid1> [<dn2>:<spid2>]]]] is used to load the firmware to a card bootcode is a t4-file. The actual versions of the t4-files for the different d-channel protocols can be found at ftp://ftp.avm.de/cardware/b1/linux/firmware. You need different t4-files for different d channel protocols: b1-1tr6.t4 for 1TR6, b1.t4 for DSS1 and b1-usa.t4 for 5ESS and NI1 (DSS1 is also supported). For M1/M2 PCMCIA cards you need m1-s10.t4 or m1-s4.t4 depending on the handy type used. contrnr is the number of the controller (card) starting from 1. protocol can be DSS1, CT1, VN3, AUSTEL, 5ESS or NI1. P2P point to point DN1:SPID1 DN2:SPID2 is for the american protocols 5ESS and NI1. reset [contrnr] is used to reset a card if loading has failed. This function only make sence if card is not successfully loaded. contrnr is the number of the controller (card) starting from 1. remove [contrnr] is used to remove a card previous added. You can also remove automatic added cards (for example a B1-PCI card). contrnr is the number of the controller (card) starting from 1. trace [contrnr] [off|short|on|full|shortnodata|nodata] is used to trace CAPI2.0 messages. The trace will be done as kernel messages, see dmesg(8). contrnr is the number of the controller (card) starting from 1. off switch traceing off short switch one line per CAPI2.0 message tracing on on | full switch on full decode tracing shortnodata switch on line per CAPI2.0 message tracing on, but exclude DATA_B3_IND and DATA_B3_REQ messages. on | full switch on full decode tracing, but exclude DATA_B3_IND and DATA_B3_REQ messages. addcard <driver> <portbase> <irq> [ <membase> [ <cardnr> ] ] is used to add a card, this is more generic than add. driver currently b1isa or t1isa portbase can have the values 0x150, 0x250, 0x300 and 0x340 for the b1isa driver, look at the jumper on the card. For t1isa driver you can select an wide range of ports. irq can be selected from the following values: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 15. membase memory address if needed by driver cardnr only usefull with driver t1isa AUTHOR
