I have finally found some more documentation and also a linux driver
for the Ethernet Card I have (REALTEK 8019). I decided to try to
recompile the kernel, with that specific driver, and just trade back
the card for a better one if it still doesn't work.
I didn't do it before because the vendor ensured me it was a fully NE2K
compatible thing, which is not the case. My fault... :-(
I have 3 questions at this point:
1) The driver provided by the manifacturer is for linux 1.2.13. Whould
it work
in Mandrake 6.1? (tgz file attached)
2) Where do I find all the choices made in compiling the current kernel,
so I don't screw up anything else (/usr/src/linux/.config??)
3) In case it doesn't work, which (unexpensive) eternet cards do you
recommend?
Thanks once more to anybody who helped me to learn a lot!
