I will try that, but the card works in Windows 2000. It's a dual-boot PC.

I have problems getting a new ethernet card working on one of my machines, It is a Jensen card with a Realtek driver(rtl8139.o). When I use Yast2 to set up my card i get this error message at the end:
'These errors occured during saving configuration: Device eth0 is not running'.

I read this whole thread with quite a bit of interest. It sounds, Jostber, that you and I have had similar experiences with Realtek chipsets. Yes, it works just fine under Windows 2000, but no matter WHAT, it doesn't work when you boot Linux. I struggled with this for three weeks, and finally bought a different card. The card with the Realtek chipset is currently in my Windows 2000 machine, so I know that it works, and I installed a 3com card in the machine running Linux. If you do manage to get that card working with Linux, please tell all of us what you did! Kevin
Hi Kevin, I'm using realtek chips sets on all the network cards in all my linux machines and they work fine, but I have never done a dual boot machine. So I'm interested to. Especially if somehow it has something to do with the dual boot. Rich

I haven't been following this thread, but I do have one possibly useful bit of information. The kernel drivers include both rtl8139.o and 8139too.o. The former doesn't work with Linksys cards; the latter one does. At one point I stumbled into the interesting but sad history about the divergence, which has to do with various authors' beliefs that their technical approach is right and another one isn't, and what makes it into the official kernel and what doesn't. I have a Linksys card; I'm using the 8139too.o driver; and it works just fine for me under Linux. Paul
