Did you change everything necessary?  Post your settings.s and buildit.s.

Use the RedHat or DebIan libc5 packages.  Mine doesn't exist right now,
and may or may not get put together again.

For this one, I thought you just need to edit the pcmcia config file.
I think the 8390 support is compiled into the kernel so it doesn't need
to be added, but the pcmcia config needs to know the exact string it is
looking for.  It shouldn't need you to mess with the 8390 stuff.  But
since you did get it up that way, leave it.

Then you just have a dhcpcd-- problem, not a nic problem.  Edit
/usr/bin/dhcpcd--.lua, it is a plain-text editable-ASCII file.

You may just need a longer timeout somewhere in dhcpcd--.lua.

You need to manually type 'insmod rtl8139', it doesn't do it
automatically.  That is probably all that needs to be done on that one.

Let me know where/if you get stuck,
