[Bug 48456] Re: kubuntu 6.06 LTS does not support Realtek 8139 network card

[cbrockman]

Apparently there is an upstream fix for this RTL8139 problem. I tried a
floppy-booted install of Debian Sarge (version 3.1) which recognized the
8139D just fine. That Debian distribution had trouble partitioning one
of my hard disk drives to ext3 so I created the boot, root and network
driver floppies for the current beta of Debian Etch (version 4.0). That
2.6.18-4-486 kernel had no trouble with the Realtek card nor the
partitioning so I did a full install of that distribution.  Now I have
my network back.
