You might need to download & compile a new driver for your NIC.  If the Asound 
web site doesn't have a precompiled one, there is another drive available from 
the Scyld ftp server.

From the Scyld PCI NIC page:

"The Myson mtd803 chip, myson803.c. The Myson Fast Ethernet (mtd803) and 
Gigabit Ethernet (mtd891) chips are used on low-end OEM boards. They use 
bus-master transfers, can transmit from arbitrarily aligned buffers but receive 
only into longword- aligned buffers, and have a 64 element multicast hash 
filter. All chip versions have flow control, Wake-On-LAN, and ACPI power states 
(PCI power management)."

Notice that that is a google cache page, NOT the current Scyld page.  Looks 
like the current Scyld page no longer references your NIC.  However the links 
on the Google cache page still work, including the link to the source code for 
the driver as well as instructions on how to build & install it.

You mentioned having a driver disk that you've installed.  Was that a Linux 
driver disk?  If so, you might not need to download the driver again.

Try this as root:

modprobe myson803

and let us know what happened.

Cheers,

James
