All,

got some more info - when I open etc/sysconfig/netcard here's what is says:

FULLNAME="Realtec|unknown device 10ec:8180"
DRIVER="unknown"

To me, this looks like there's no driver loaded. I played a little bit with ndiswrapper, got the net8180 driver on the system but when I changed "unknown" into "net8180" and tried to save this, it wouldn't let me do it...

Any help available?
