As far as the drives are concerned, sounds like you have a conflicted SCSI
assignment possibly.
For the network card, you need to run netconf and be SURE that the card that
you are using is the one corresponding to the device driver that LM7.1
selected for you in the install. If it is incorrect, choose the correct
one. I am assuming that you are using the X Windowing system (KDE?) so the
graphical netconf gives you a list of device drivers to choose.
Best of luck!
