problem solved:-)

the main problem was that my ethernet card was fake, as Simon Bridge has told...
today, i replaced fake realtek with D-Link card, and everything works fine now:-)

to be honest, fake realtek card would work, but only on 2.4 kernel, because drivers for 2.6 didn't work on my system...

i just have to add that i have 2.6.18 kernel...my friend told me that kernel 2.6.21 have modules for this card...


bye! :-)
