Yes rc.local is the last init script to get executed at boottime, simply add
the following;
modprobe 8139too (check its name first as per above.)
ifconfig eth1 xxx.xxx.xx.xx netmask 255.255.255.0 up
Thats it.
Anyway why reboot, simply type the lines above in (as root) on a console or
xterm, if you get an error message about "unreasolved sysmbols" from modprobe
do the following;
insmod 8390.o (hope that is what 2.4.x calls it.)
Then use modprobe again to add the rtl module.
My machine with redhat 7.1 is broken at the minute so i cant emulate it all for
you.
