The first one is that I cannot connect to my adsl-provider (german telekom)

driver) are all available and roaring pinguin also compiles well and does
not complain about lacking drivers ... but inspite of this I cannot connect
to my ISP.
I'm having the same problem with a rtl8139. Nothing reports errors and packets
go out, but the kernel won't seem to read from the interface correctly. Can't
help with a solution tho...


I also have an rtl8139.  I use APM instead of ACPI due to
incompatibilities.  I could boot up with noacpi, but what's the point.
USB also does not work with ACPI.
To those with networking problems, try running

`route`

to check your routing tables.

If you do not have a default route listed and
are connected to a linksys (or similar type)
broadband sharing router run this:
`route add default gw 192.168.1.1`	---(replace 192.168.1.1 with your 
local router address, if you know this)

This worked for me.
