There has been a recent thread regarding the above which I had hoped would solve my problem. It hasn't.
I've been trying to set up a small home LAN (just two boxes) with the addition of a SmoothWall firewall. I think I've enough gen to make a fair go at it, but I just can't get 2.2.19 kernels to enable support for RealTek RTL-8139 Fast Ethernet Adapters, and can't understand why. The help notes show support is there, but using 'make config', the option to select is not given. If I use 'make xconfig' again it's there but isn't highlighted for selection. Most other non-highlighted NIC's can be brought up by the prior selection of a 'group of cards' option, but I've failed to find any way to make the RealTeks available. Am I being more than usually stupid and overlooking something? Grateful for assistance, john
