Has anyone gotten a RealTek 8139 ethernet working with Knoppix 3.3?
I get:
# insmod 8139too
Using /lib/modules/2.4.24-xfs/kernel/drivers/net/8139too.o
...unresolved symbol crc32_le
unresolved symbol bitreverse
And, of course, it does not work. How hard is it to recompile the Knoppix kernel? Any idea what symbols the RealTek ethernet card is looking for?
