I certainly hope you mean 2.2.20, instead of 2.2.0!!! What problems did you have installing 2.4.19 and .21? They are what you should be running. I have an 8139 working just fine with 2.4.20. Besides, how can we help you without specific data, like snippets from /var/log/syslog and dmesg. Also, if you are a Linux newbie, or a Linux vet who is more comfortable with the auto-detection and GUI niceties that other distros offer, you might want Libranet, instead. It's fully Debian compatible. http://www.libranet.com/download.html -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ron Johnson, Jr. Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Jefferson, LA USA | | | | "I'm not a vegetarian because I love animals, I'm a vegetarian | | because I hate vegetables!" | | unknown | +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
