I wasn't addressing the problem of the nic working in 2.2 but not 2.4 (I've had this myself with a few RTL8139's), but the more general problem of using a RTL8139 at all. Friends don't let friends use Realtek nics! IIRC, the OP had a problem with which driver (rtl8139 vs. 8139too) to use - or if he didn't, he'd find that problem around the corner - which I don't think is your problem, seeing as neither driver relates to your card at all. So - what problem are /you/ having? > > peter jc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
