RTL8129/39.. Drivers have an excellent support these days. I have been using
mine with no difficulty. I prefer to compiler the driver into the kernel and I
am pretty sure that in your case also you just have to set up the interface
right and everything will be fine.
As David said in his mail, do the following if you have a static IP
Put the info in /etc/network/interfaces. Mine looks like:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.8.30
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.8.0
broadcast 192.168.8.255
gateway 192.168.8.254
If howevery you want to load the driver as a module , first see the output of
the lsmod command. Do you see any 8139too ? If "not" then what you might have
to do is download the driver and "insmod". This will load the driver into the
running kernel as a module.
Man pages to see:- insmod lsmod ifconfig
Thanks
