[olug] Problems with setting up NICs

[Don Kauffman]

I found a later version of the rtl8139 driver and downloaded the source. I'll
give  a try at  compiling that. I may be back though.

Now, I wasn't able to find the 8139too.o either on the systerm or on the net.
Do you know where I can find it?

Thanks all!
