Internet in Libranet 2.8

[Dswissmiss]

Libranet didn't detect my cable modem automatically, and I'm having trouble installing anything through the AdminMenu too. It detects the card, but cant install any drivers (forgot why, I think something about it being disabled). I checked D-links website, and found the linux drivers for my Lan card, http://d-link.com/products/support.asp?pid=122#drivers , but when I klick on the linux driver, a page comes up instead of a prompt asking me where to save it to. Any ideas on what to do? I've read through a few posts on the Libranet forum, and 2 people said they fixed the problem by downloading the drivers,recompiling the Kernel and installing them...sounds a bit too complicated though.

thank you
