For me, etch handled it all automatically. /lib/modules/2.6.18-4-686/kernel/drivers/net/8139too.ko It's in the linux-image-2.6.18-4-686 package. Regards, Ralph
hello ralph and magnus, thanks for your answer.in my box etch loads the driver automatically too. but i cannot reach the internet
in fact i have two internetcards/chips on my machine. normally i use the onboard nvidia-chip which works fine. for some good reason i need to switch from the nvidia-chip to the RTL-8139 card. dmesg, lsmod and grep show me combined that etch recognizes the RTL-card. Yet i cannot reach the internet. /etc/network/interfaces tells me ethx (of the RTL card) is unconfigured.
so now my question: how can i tell etch to set on the RTL card/ connect me to the internet with the RTL-card, instead of the nvidia-chip?
(tried out among other things ifup ifdown et.) regards, steef
