You said:
All the symptoms certainly suggest that the installer just can't see the card.
I don't think that's right... I think I skipped a bit when describing the problem. On the installation when I explicitly selected the 8139too driver, it showed two ethernets, eth0 and eth1. After that, I re-installed without selecting a driver; the installer used its own driver, and all the above troubleshooting was done after that. So yes, the installer did see the card, as far as I can tell. But if I'm wrong, please tell me.
P.S. I also tried swapping out for another card (Linksys) and re-installing all over again. Same damn problem.

Aha! The site you linked me to said somehting about 'PnP OS' in the BIOS being turned off. I checked my BIOS, turned off the PnP OS option, reinstalled, and the network is working now! Yippee!
Currently re-installing Xwindows and all the other packages.
Thank you, Zork-Man!

Thanks for the good wishes! I dont NEED to be with someone else -- I'm self-sufficient enough to be my own person -- but it really feels good to have a girlfriend. And having sex on a regular basis is a nice plus.

it's sad to see friends go inactive. x_x
you haven't posted any new photos recently. (i miss them.) most photos of people ARE uninteresting, i don't blame you for avoiding it even if you are "failing" at your photo club. j/k

Why do I bother trying to have sensible discussions on the 'boards?
Why?

I know better, really I do. Yet I still do it! Why?

'Sensible' conversations? I can't even drum up a silly conversation on the boards. They baffle me. 
maggotboy:
Apparently sensible comments are the ones that get folks all riled up.
That means I think they're fun.
And thanks for your feedback--made me feel like this board really is a place I belong.

It's really a novel adaptation of The Crying Game. 
I've posted my Hitchhiker's review in my journal. Read at your leisure. Go see the flick; it's enjoyable, if not impressive.

I made a friend laugh today.
Okay, maybe on the grand scale of things, that's not so much... but still... it's not nothing, either.

yeah, I've been thinking seriously about getting a Linux/BSD distro. I just want to get a new HD first, because I want to keep all my Windows apps as well, and I have no room for a second OS.
As for your butterfly effect -- if you caused the end of the world, it'll take more than a couple days -- maybe a week or two, at least. So we at least have a little time to wrap things up before our day of reckoning comes along. See, there's a bright side to everything.

Believe me, if I could move away from this godforsaken state without any worries, I would. But here I have family, friends, gainful employment, etc., and it would so suck to leave it all behind.

heh well they are 90% from one person.
I don't think it's a squirrel either. That is the first thing that came to my mind as I was looking at it though.
Thanks for the good wishes.
