I have a problem with my network card. Well card itself works fine, but I have problem with its configuration. I used drakconf to set my network up. Everything went smoothly, it worked just fine. The problem occured during booting. I enabled starting network at startup. The problem was that linux could not bring up network interface. I tried to start network manually with /etc/init.d/network start but it outputed the same. IMO, system thinks that there's no network card. I have to reconfigure it using drakconf when this occurs. It detects the card and sets it up. What could be the problem? And, when concerning this, how can I detect hardware just using console, without X?

sounds like drakeconf isn't adding your network card module to the list of modules to be added at startup

start up, make drakeconf find it, do a lsmod > after, reboot, do a lsmod > before, do a diff -u before after

show us the diff output

It didn't work. I couln'd find "lsmod" command. Any other suggestion. Maybe there is a config file or something, where it is stored.

If you aren't logged in as root, /sbin probably isn't in your path. Try /sbin/lsmod instead of lsmod.

I made "before" after booting, and "after" when drakconf's configuration. Here's the diff output.
