Hmmm..... I had that simular problem with my 3com nic in my laptop. What those beeps signify is Linux is detecting your card services and the card services is reporting there is cards physically present. ( simular to the WIN9X bootup sequence.) You are going to need to locate a compatible kernel module. Is this device a modem, eth, or some other form of device? eth meaning nic or network device. I'm running ADSL connected via nic. I had to use the tulip module for my 3c574tx PCMCIA in Redhat 6.2. The tulip kernel module is not compatible with my card in mandrake 7.1. My isp is running DHCP protocols too. You still have to get the drivers up and running first then enter in the correct servers. (domain search path, hostnames, nameservers, etc) until the system will even start to look at the internet. Once you have your drivers activated and functioning, use netconfig from the prompt (not from xwindows) and engage the tell Linux it's a DHCP you are looking for. by checking "DHCP, BOOTP" if everything is correct, your network will fire right up. Also, in my case, when I know my nic has been activated - I look at my laptop's LCD status screen... the PCMCIA display "pulses" I am also running my network here (6 system network) at 100 MBS. That might have something to do with the pulsing. who knows. Hope this helps a little. If all else fails, goto the manufacture of the cable modem and see if there is a driver. if not, go here: http://linux-directory.com/ they might not have what you are looking for off the bat but it's at least a start.
