Hi, Actually it's simple to get it to work. There's no need to select any option on kernel (neither select 10/100 Mbit ethernet option from kernel ...). What I did was: 1. obtain the rtl8139.o doing (the following line it's on the last line from source code) : gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c rtl8139.c `[ -f /usr/include/linux/modversions.h ] && echo -DMODVERSIONS` 2. insert rtl8139 as module on kernel insmod rtl8139.o 3. configure all IP's, netmasks, etc and that's all ! :) It works. As it worked i didn't tried your solution. Thanks. Best regards, Nuno Carvalho
