During the boot up, it reckognizes my network card (its a 'de', Digital chipset based card, I guess) and when it tries to ping the default gateway, after I set up the network parameters, it fails.

Do you know exactly which chip it uses? 21140 and 21040 based cards lacks
certain big endian support (which 21140A and 21041 have). I have a working
patch to the tlp driver for these cards, you might want to give it a try.
