Also the on MB network card is not seen by Debian, Intel 82801BD PRO/100

XFree 4.1 in Debian Woody (3.0) only supports GF2 or older with the nv
driver. Either

- use the VESA driver
- ugrade XFree to 4.3 using backports (http://www.apt-get.org)
- install the closed-source-driver from http://www.nvidia.com

Either the kernel is too old, or you need to load the driver. If you use
Woody, check what kernel is installed (uname -r). If it is 2.2.2
(-idepci), upgrade to the latest 2.4.18-1 packages from
security.debian.org. Don't forget to configure lilo to use the initrd
that comes with that kernel. If you already use 2.4.18, upgrade to
2.4.27 from <http://www.backports.org>.
