I finally got debian installed (potato) on this laptop. I've been trying to get the laptop to use the NIC but I've been having problems.
I've compiled both drivers into the kernel seperately (realtek 8139, and realtek8139too) With just the driver, ifup etho gives me "resources temporarily unavailable". With some suggestions I tried to pass kernel parameters through lilo with: append="ether=10,0x1800,eth0" dmesg | grep eth0 shows that it got the I/O address right, but the IRQ setting is still 0. When I do ifup eth0 now, I get operation failed instead. Any suggestions welcome, Jeffrey Schoolcraft
