But i couldn't make my network work anyway. I tried almost anything that i know but i couldn't make my eth0 configurable!
Module is also working but i can't see eth0 when i try to configure it with ifconfig!
I have a realtek ethernet card and an adsl router modem connected to it!
ifconfig -a shows only loopback device lo

My rtl8139 doesn't show up because I have it compiled into the kernel.

If the module is loaded then you should have to do little more than #dhcpcd eth0 to get a good ip (if connected to a router). It should even get a good ip if you load the module at startup and have a cable plugged in at the time.

If you compiled in support for eth0 (i.e. your card) as a module, you have to modprobe for it. It is easier to compile it into the kernel instead of compiling as a module.
