The 2.2.12 kernel does have a driver for that network card. You have to select this option: Code maturity level options --> Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers (YES) Then you will find an option for the realtek 8139 under the Ethernet(10 or 100Mbit) section. I have this card working on one of our servers. The only problem I've detected is that the card goes crazy when I try to transfer large chunks of data (aprox 65MB). I have to unload the module, and then reload it again so that it works. Good Luck! Alexis Maldonado -- ______________________________________________ DYMSA - Disenos y Montajes S.A.
