If you've got a broadband connection, you my want to download kernel version 2.2.25 from http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.2/ and build that up. It may help, but these realtek chips have been around for quite a while. Something in the back of my mind tells me that there was ( when I was using 2.4.9 or so I think ), options for 2 different kinds of 8139 chip. I don't know if anyone else can remember this??? >>Steve >> >> >> >> >
