Well I hoped that editing rc.local and including the line

ifup eth0

would work but it didn't. All I got was :

Delaying eth0 initialization which is the same message I

get at boot time.

If I try to run Harddrake and select network device cards

then my card is seen. If I elect to configure it I get the message :

Modprobe : Can't locate module eth0

If I run Mandrake control center and select Network & internet

and then connection then in the right hand pane

on the line which says status disconnected and has a button labeled

connect clicking on that button does connect me and I can surf and ping

to my hearts delight :-)  until I re-boot and I am back to square one.

It does not seem to matter if I apply the settings or not.

Once it is running cat/proc/interrupts shows the card assigned irq10

cat /proc/ioports shows various outputs

Help!!! please before I go mad
