Ok, so what kernel version does "uname -a" say your are running?

After that, I am going to have you do an ls in the kernel modules
directory, and we will see what drivers are present on your system.

If you are really interested in learning how Linux works, installs, and
acts, both as a server and a workstation, you might be interested in
taking CIS-225 Linux Networking at Pima CC.  I am teaching it Friday
nights (5:30-9pm) starting January 16th.
