[wplug] Debian help

[Rick Smith]

I had a similar thing.  Mine turned out to be the default driver
selected by RH72 was not a good choice (Tulip when it should have
been dmfe).  Through Google, I found instructions to guide me
through the installation of the good driver and I've had
no problems since.

A quick google on "KNE100TX debian" found:

Good luck.
