So I spent a fair part of my weekend doing the make config dance, because I could not for the life of me figure out how to get my ethernet card module built in to the kernel.
My ethernet card(rtl8139) is supported, or at least there is a file in the source tree called rtl8139.c ; However; no matter what tortures I put config through it does not ever offer me the option of saying yes I want to include RealTek 8139 support in this kernel. before wandering around blindly mangling MakeFile I figured I'd ask here. kernel 2.2.19 (most recent in debian-stable, with ptrace bugfix etc.) Debian 2.2 (and yes I am doing make kpackage-clean each time I run make config.
