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?
