Hi,

I am trying to setup knoppix because i want to switch from gentoo to debian.

But I can not make the network work. I have a MSI Laptop (Core2Duo) with this ethernet card:
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 01)
Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. Unknown device 0341
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17
I/O ports at d800 [size=256]
Memory at fe1ff000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
Expansion ROM at fe1e0000 [disabled] [size=64K]
Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2
Capabilities: [48] Vital Product Data <?>
Capabilities: [50] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit+ Queue=0/1 Enable-
Capabilities: [60] Express Endpoint, MSI 00
Capabilities: [84] Vendor Specific Information <?>
Kernel driver in use: r8169
Kernel modules: r8169

When knoppix is up and I try a to use the dhcp client (dhcp3 or so) I get a message that I have to configure a subnet in my dhcp server config. ????

So what to do? Any ideas.
When I installed gentoo I had problems with the nic too. I had to compile the kernel again, the the module r8169 work. But I do not have this chance on knoppix, isn't it?
