Has anyone had a problem with activating eth0 in version 8. I have an Aopen ethernet card with the Realtek RTL8139 chipset which works ok in 7.3. I am using a broadband router which assigns ip addresses and this works fine with 7.3 as i just install the OS and i am on the net. with 8.0 it fails to boot up as it stalls at the activeate eth0. by bypassing this i can get it to boot but it won't activate. i thought i would get smart and update 7.3 to 8.0 as it was already working but alas it has the same problem.
The network works fine with windows 98 2k xp but red hat 8 detects the card exactly the same as 7.3 but it won't work.
I would appreciate an answer as i am new to Linux.
