I appreciate the help, hopefully the debug information below will help.
Thanks!

I've also included all of the results as text files.

> I'm concerned why autonegotiation failed though.

When I try to just plug it in direct with autonegotiation (with an x-over
cable, depending on the net card/driver to do it all by itself), I get an
error, about every second on the console saying:
eth0: Transmit timed out, status 02261000, CSR12 0000003c, resetting...

If I do ifconfig eth0 down ; ifconfig eth0 up, the message goes away, but
the connection still isn't happening.  If I set it to 10baseT from mii-diag
going to the hub that is currently doing this for me (normally defaults to
100baseTx), it indicates "link status: not established", however, I can ping
out and do other network things.  Pinging, etc does not work when the hub is
not there.

The tulip-diag program gives the following analysis of the card (just
tulip-diag -#1):

 http://www.scyld.com/diag/index.html
Index #1: Found a Lite-On 82c168 PNIC adapter at 0xdc00.
 Port selection is 10mpbs-serial, half-duplex.
 Transmit started, Receive started, half-duplex.
  The Rx process state is 'Waiting for packets'.
  The Tx process state is 'Waiting for Tx to finish'.
  The transmit threshold is 96.
 Use '-a' or '-aa' to show device registers,
     '-e' to show EEPROM contents, -ee for parsed contents,
  or '-m' or '-mm' to show MII management registers.


So it seems that it autonegotiated correctly, however, from mii-diag...

Both mii-diag and the dsl modem it is connect to believe the connection
isn't happening.

Okay, did this and recompiled, since I'm using modules, I shouldn't have to
recompile the kernel, correct?  Just a make modules ; make modules_install?
I'm still getting the message when modifying the /etc/conf.modules adding
the debug=1, that parm_debug is an invalid parameter.  Even if I do an
insmod direct instead of having it boot up with it in there.

okay, did this

set this to /var/log/kernel

these result are (no other notes from me after these results)...
