Hi Jeff,

Looks like Mandrake probably has your module compiled into their stock
kernel.  eth0 I can tell you is the '8139rt' module (I had that one
on-board on my Shuttle PC).  It's a generic module that covers a lot of
different name brands like D-Link and RealTek.

As far as eth1, I'm not sure which one that is.  But the bottom line is
that the devices are registered properly.

What happens if you run '/sbin/ifconfig'?  Are you wanting to get a dhcp
lease, or do you use static IP addresses on your network?

Jeremy
