Thanks Lonnie for your help so far!

Where do I get a good 8139cp driver and where do I post a request that it be
added to the next Astlinux
release?

I'm using 0.7.7 and the 8139too driver loads the Viking card.
But, dmesg says "Use the "8139cp" driver for improved performance and 
stability."

astlinux# dmesg|grep 8139
8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.28
8139too 0000:02:04.0: This (id 10ec:8139 rev 20) is an enhanced 8139C+ chip
8139too 0000:02:04.0: Use the "8139cp" driver for improved performance and
stability.
8139too 0000:02:04.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
8139too 0000:02:04.0: unknown chip version, assuming RTL-8139
8139too 0000:02:04.0: TxConfig = 0x74800000
eth1: RealTek RTL8139 at 0xd082a000, 00:0a:fa:20:04:84, IRQ 16
eth1:  Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8139'

It's not on the 0.7.7 release file system:

astlinux# find / -name "8139*"
/sys/bus/pci/drivers/8139too
/sys/module/mii/holders/8139too
/sys/module/8139too
/oldroot/mnt/asturo/lib/modules/2.6.27.49-astlinux/kernel/drivers/net/8139too.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.27.49-astlinux/kernel/drivers/net/8139too.ko


Thanks!
