A friend of mine is trying to have Internet runing Mandrake 9.1; it has a
cable-modem very similar to the mine and the same internet provider.
dhcp-client also installed, but until now it has been impossible to have the
network runing :-(.
I have tryed to help him but I have seen some rare messages using dmesg and
ifconfig; unfortunately I can't understand if those messages are giving
ideads about how to solve the problem; so I would like to look for help;
perhaps someone in the expert list could understand the messages and help us
to resolve the problem. It has a Pentium IV with an ethernet card (eth0);
under windows the internet conection is runing fine :-(
Those are the dmesg lines related with eth0:
8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.26
