I do not know what that > means. That sounds like color terminal output from the ls command. I am surprised that works with the "ls" under Bering. Anyway, green typically means it's executable. That isn't necessary, but won't hurt anything. After you copied the module into /lib/modules and edited /etc/modules , did you backup the modules package?

Okay. The next step is to run insmod /lib/modules/rtl8139.o from the command line and tell us what happens. This will manually load the kernel module for the NIC. Typically, when load NIC modules they will echo a few lines about any NICs they recognized. > > 7.) copy of /etc/network/interfaces so we can tell if there are > > any problems there, and > > All I did here was comment out the default, uncomment the lines for a static > IP, and add my IP information. > > > 8.) confirmation that you've read > > http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/binstall.html > > steps 4 and 5 at least once. ;) > I have. > > I hope this is info is helpful to you. Thank you very much for your help. Glad to help. I think you're getting close. Let us know what the insmod reveals and we'll go from there. --Brad ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
