Is yours a Boomerang card? I had similar problems with Debian but not Caldera
OpenLinux 1.3.
I had trouble with Debian finding my card only because during the network
setup, I chose the option to connect with an ISP. I installed Debian again but
this time made the other choice, the option to network. That did the trick and
I was still able to get on the net.
When you are presented with that choice, just don't take the ISP option.
There might be a way to get things working without a reinstall, and maybe some
of the more experienced Debianers know how to do it. I had to reinstall,
though.
