I'm assuming that I need to check the network configuration at a fairly basic level, what commands are used to do this.
dmesg eth0: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet at 0xfc00, IRQ10, 00:05:1c:19:df:f4
mii-tool eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link OK. Looks promising
It looks like I will need to compile a Realtek driver from source code to install it. modules.conf does not contain any entries for eth0 indicating that no driver is being loaded. The kernel version I have is 2.2.20. The source on the CD is 2.4.18. I could download 2.2.20 source from Debian but don't have anyway of getting it into the target machine except perhaps lots of floppy disks.
