i can't get the module for my NIC card to load. I have Mandrake 7.2 and have changed my /etc/module.conf file to include the line:
"alias eth0 rt18139"

My /etc/module file only has one line which is: "ide-floppy" and i added "rt18139" as another line to see what would happen and it didn't do anything.

When i use lsmod command i don't see the rt18139 module. When linux loads it fails to initialize eth0, which makes the little penguin sad, and thus i am sad :(

Do i not have the rt18139 module as a file somewhere, do i need to download it?
I've also tried "insmod rt18139" and it said it couldn't find a module with this name.

Thanks for any help!

OOPS! i guess it's actually rtl8139, that l really looks like a 1!

anyways now the module is working fine, but I'm having IP configuration problems :(

Anyone else with @home service got recommendations for the settings using linuxconf??

I disabled DNS, is that correct?

AFAIK the module name is rtl8139 with the letter 'l' and not the figure 1.
