Based on your picture, it seems that you have to modify the driver file and re-install the driver. Alternatively, you could disable the 2 bcme ports on the mainboard and install a
AddOn Intel EXPI9400PT Comparable 10/100/1000Mbs Single Open RJ-45 Port 100m PCIe x4 Network Interface Card, which can be had for under 50 dollars and is supported in the eeG

As far as booting from a usb device, it is likely that the "loading free-dos" comes from the boot sector, but when the boot program tries to load the kernel (command.com) it can no longer find it.

You might have better luck booting from a dvd

cr

cr(1)							      General Commands Manual							     cr(1)

NAME

       cr - converts text files between nix EOL and dos EOL

SYNOPSIS

       cr  - | +  <input file> <output file>

DESCRIPTION

       Text  files,  such  as tle files, that come from a dos source usualy have the ^M symbol at the end of every line. Cr converts files between
       the dos newline format and the normal *nix newline format by stripping the ^M to convert dos to *nix, using the '-' option, or adding ^M to
       a *nix file to create the proper dos file when the '+' option is used.

       Although this extra character is not often a problem, programs like seesat5, which are data driven will encounter parsing problems when the
       extra character is present. It is these problems that cr is intended to repair.

   Options
       - | +  One or the other of these options is required. The '-' option is used to remove ^M from all newlines found in the dos file. The  '+'
	      option is used to add ^M to every newline found in a *nix file.

       input file
	      Fully delineated path to the input file. As this program is used in the dos environment as well, standard input is not used.

       output file
	      Fully delineated path to the output file. As this program is used in the dos environment as well, standart output is not used.

BUGS

       Cr  is  not an inteligent program. It methodicaly replaces/removes the offending character when it finds it in the correct context. Newline
       sequences found in contexts other than 'newline' will be replaced/removed just like those found in the proper  context.	Passing  a  binary
       file through cr is not advised, for this reason. Send all inqueries to Dale Scheetz <dwarf@polaris.net>.
