I'm Trying to set a box up with this card, its a right bugger. I've got the right IO and IRQ, and installed ne properly. I can bring up the interface (eth1) with a static ip. However thats it. It seems to forget to talk to anything. It seems to work as far as the hub, the lights flash when I try to ping out, but thats it. I cant ping any other machine and they cant ping this one.

It could be a hardware problem (faulty card) I guess.

I'd go get a nice pci rtl8139 but the shop's shut

Theres nothing wrong with the network settings in general (eth0 is up and works fine), modprobe's fine.
