Now that worked! great! thanks Derrick When googling I did not notice a reference to kernel versions for the module names that is why I was trying rtl8139. Didn't see 8139too. So
For future reference 2.4.x kernel: network card info: D-Link System RTL8139 - driver mod name = 8139too 3com 3c905C-TX/TX-M [Tornado] - driver mod name = 3c59x On Fri, Apr 02, 2004 at 01:57:07PM -0300, Philip Pinkerton wrote: || It is a D-Link System RTL8139.
