How is the hardware for the RTL8139 setup ?. Is it plug and play ? If
yes then remember that you may not tell mulinux irq and add. I use the
rtl 8139 on a sbc and it run OK just as a plug and play.

I had it setup 2 ways
1. Same as in Freesco I/0 0x6000 irq 12 didn't work (works in Freesco)
2. I just entered 0 for i/o and irq didn't work
it is in a PCI slot and Plug and play is enabled in bios
I tried the NE2000 and it didn't work
I am stuck

MULINUX cant find my NIC and Smoothwall cant find my serial modem
and they both work great in freesco
IM CONFUSED!!!!!! ARGHHHH : )
