Has anyone had a problem with activating eth0 in version 8. I have an Aopen ethernet card with the Realtek RTL8139 chipset which works ok in 7.3. I am using a broadband router which assigns ip addresses and this works fine with 7.3 as i just install the OS and i am on the net. with 8.0 it fails to boot up as it stalls at the activeate eth0. by bypassing this i can get it to boot but it won't activate. i thought i would get smart and update 7.3 to 8 0 as it was already working but alas it has the same problem. The network works fine with windows 98 2k xp but red hat 8 detects the card exactly the same as 7.3 but it won't work.
I hane since set RH 8 on a different computer with a proper SMC EZ card that it is recognized as and it still does the same. I have installed it on 3 different computers, 2 of them with the Aopen cards and 1 with SMC and none of them work. I even tried copying the module out of 7.3 but that did not work either. There must be someone out there that has the same prob as this chipset is used on a lot of network cards. I would appreciate an answer as i am new to Linux.
