I am including the entire output from dmesg in the hopes of successfully being able to use my NIC. The relevant portions are highlighted.
I am unable to use my D-Link RTL-8139 with any of kernel 2.4.19, 2.4.21, or 2.6.0-test2 despite the Network Device explicitly being set to RTL-8139 with make menuconfig. Dmesg reports that my NIC is found and the 8139too driver loaded. But any attempt to load a web page resultcs in "Address not found". Even a simple ping of 192.168.1.1 (address of my Linksys router) results in Address Not Found. Any advice is most welcome. debian:/home/tilleyrw# cat dmesg.output Linux version 2.4.21 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 3.3.1 20030728 (Debian prerelease)) #5 Mon Aug 4 15:30:10 EDT 2003 BIOS-provided physical RAM map: BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009fc00 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000000009fc00 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000000f0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 0000000000100000 - 000000000c000000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 00000000ffff0000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved) 192MB LOWMEM available.
