Hi Wolfgang, Thanks for answering my question. I loaded the latest version of Debian (yesterday) from their website (using the "live" version and then installing from that image). I searched the installation and didn't find sja1000_isa at all, only sja1000 and sja1000_platform. I have a 32 bit Atom board and the Debian installation went normally. Did I perhaps install the wrong thing? Thanks again for your patience!

The sja1000_isa is still available in the mainline kernel. And the sja1000_platform driver is not replacing it? It serves a different bus. Is it possible that you switched to 64bit Linux at the same time? Older kernel versions do not support sja1000_isa on x86_64 but the issue has been fixed in the meantime.
