I've had a bit of a google
Reply 1It's been a long time since I used the TKL torrent appliance
Reply 2But I thought that it was just via the (normal http) port 80? Perhaps not. Glad you got the driver issue sorted though, but as I said, from what I gather it never should have been an issue. Perhaps your download was slightly corrupted?
i got it working by just
Reply 3i got it working by just coppying a downloaded e100 folder into /lib/firmware now it works but how does the torrent thing work i get into webmin but the torrent part on port 12322 doesnt work
And it seems that most others with this same error relates to drivers. But having a quick look on a Debian HCL (Hardware Compatability List) I found - it seems that the Intel chip you have should be supported since 2.6.25 (Debian 6/TKL v12.x has 2.6.32). To back that up all the results I found that related to issues with this NIC with Linux kernel, all relate to ~2007-2009. So theoretically it should just work...
Obviously that's not the case though...
From my reading (here and here) it seems that this hardware should use the e100 firmware (or perhaps the ee100pro - not sure why it gets 2 mentions on the Debian Wiki).
So like the second link above suggests you could check your dmesg log to see what is happening 'dmesg |grep e100'.
