I have the Realtek RTL8139 here also. I don't know if this will help you or not but in my case I need to boot with the "noapic" option on the boot command line and then I get net support. The 8139too.o module is already built into the bf2.4 kernel. Add append="noapic" to your /etc/lilo.conf and run lilo to update the config. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
