I've noticed that the realtek 8139 cards are working with PHLAKS live cd distribution.

I infact have a 8139 card that does not work with Knoppix it was most likely flashed by M$; however, I doubt that. Because my card works flawlessly with PHLAK.

It would be wonderful if knoppix could include whatever drivers phlak is using into the next release of Knoppix.
