DLink DFE-538TX - so I'll need the Realtek 8139 drivers. Right now it looks as though I didn't copy my kernel to the /boot drive. Now, when I try to recompile the kernel (have to now - need to make sure APIC is turned off, and I missed a setting for the DEVFS), I'm getting errors. I'll be trying the steps in Trevor's post. in a short while.
