[TriLUG] Help with network card

[Lisa C. Boyd]

Ok - ya'll will get a good laugh out of this. I recompiled my own kernel 
and killed my network connection trying to get my sound card to work. Since 
I had such great help at the Installfest, I haven't got a clue where to 
start or what to read to get it back. Please point me in the right 
direction for pleasant summer reading or if it's a simple fix, email me :) 
BTW, remember I'm running Debian if that makes a difference :)

Thanks!
