8139 ethernet not working
Hello!
I'm completly new to linux and I have a major problem: i cannot connect to the internet.
I bought a d-link dfe530tx+ which is supposedly supprted by linux and the 8139too driver. So basically, I used the automated scripts (i.e.the mandrake control center) to set up my card. there seem to be two problems: one is when i try to create a new connection and manually select the drivers, I am looped back to the page where it asks me if i want to manually select or use the "dfe 538 tx" In other words, it wont let me manually slect the proper module. No matter, though, as in HardDrake, the ethernet card has the 8139 moodule slected and maybe loaded. However, when i do anyhting to connect to the internet, nothing works. I know it's not a hardware problem and I suspect I'm missing something basic. In any case, any helpp wpuld be appreciated!
Thanks,
Tomas Novickas
