Hi,
I have installed an ethernet card which works under windows.
However, under linux, it doesn't work properly. I think that the card is able to send, but it can't receive (maybe I have problems with the interrupt).
I have noticed that I get this message when booting:

It's obviously a realtek one, one of the most
commonly used cards these days, and quite
well established as a kernel driver.... which
module are you loading for it?
I think that's not possible in my case because I have a dynamic IP. Am I wrong?
By the way, I haven't commented in this thread that I get this message when my computer tries to get the IP via DHCP:
........... No IP address yet (backgrounding)
It never gets the IP
Yes, since DHCP isn't working setting a static IP would confirm that the module is loading and the network card is functioning. The next step would be to troubleshoot why dhcp isn't working.
Explain your network setup. What distro / version are you using. BTW it will help us if you post as many details as you can. I'm not a dentist
