HI!
So, i have this 2.6 kernel working fine, but it happens that I had to compile and use a 2.4 kernel (for openMosix) so I used the same kernel options in Network devices and in the 2.4 one it simply doesn't work
Would you help me?

b060,

Please post the line from lspci which shows your Ethernet device.

b060,

You need either RealTel RTL-8139 PCI Fast Ethernet Adaptor support (8139too)
or RealTel RTL-8139 C+ PCI Fast Ethernet Adaptor support (Experimental) (8139cp)

Build both as modules and test with modprobe.

b060,

If that worked, fine, if not modprobe 8139cp

One of them should make the interface show in
