So, first things first: what's your ethernet card? I.e. what's its make and model? And if you could, please type the command "lsmod" and also the command "ifconfig" and post their outputs here.
Wel, my ethernet card is Realtek RTL Family (?) and so on... I can't remember... Can't post output... But i know that the ethernet card isn't loaded. I can not find my ethernet card when I type ismod. Someone told me that I have to recompile the kernel to get this working.
It's "lsmod" not "ismod". Also, I'm assuming you're doing all this as root, right? And can you maybe tell us a little more about your computer (make, model)? Perhaps that way we can establish what card you have exactly and take it from there.
And if you're desperate to compile a kernel, take a look at the kernel compilation guide at the top part of this forum, or have a look at one of the introductory guides in my signature. But before you can compile with support for your card, it'd be nifty to know what card you have right? So let's try to find that out first and see if maybe it'll work with compiling a kernel.
