Thanks.

Your D-Link DFE-690-TXD is not listed in Puppy's /etc/pcmcia/config, so it cannot be automatically detected and the correct driver loaded. Puppy does have the correct driver, though: 8139too, so just load it manually -

modprobe 8139too

This is the dlink stuff in /lib/libhardware/ethernet.db:

1186|0100|tulip|D-Link|DC21041
1186|1002|sundance|D-Link|DL10050 Sundance Ethernet
1186|1100|tulip|D-Link|Fast Ethernet Adapter
1186|1300|8139too|D-Link System Inc.|D-Link DFE-538TX 10/100
1186|1340|8139too|D-Link|DFE-690TXD CardBus PC Card
1186|1541|tulip|D-Link|DFE-680TXD CardBus PC Card
1186|1561|tulip|D-Link System Inc|DRP-32TXD Cardbus PC Card
1186|4000|dl2k|D-Link|DL2K Ethernet

So, the driver should have loaded at bootup, if the pci interface to the pcmcia card is activated.
