Trying to get Realtek 8139 working
I have Knoppix 3.3 from late December and I am trying to get the network interface working on my laptop. It is realtek 8139.
I downloaded the drivers from realtek. They were for a 2.4.18-3 kernel, and mine is 2.4.22. I decided to try them anyway.
I compiled the source from realtek and tried to 'insmod 8139too.o' and was told the module already exists. Strange, because the card is not working.
I renamed 8139too.o to test.o and tried 'insmod test.o'. I got a warning that this would taint the kernel: no licence.
I am out of my depth. So, can anyone help.

There are 2 modules included iwith the linux 2.4.2x kernel: 8138cp & 8139too. Have you searched this site for 8139 related posts? There's a search box at the top of this very page. People seem to have had problems with ACPI mgt when using this ethernet chipset. Good luck.

Thanks. I did the search, and after a bit or reading, found that if I specify
noapic
as a cheatcode, it works!
Very happy, thanks again
next... the realtek wireless card
