Hello,

        With the latest version of the network code my rtl8139 card was 
recognised so I thought I would try it out.

        This is what get with ifconfig -a
rtl81390: flags=2030<MULTICAST,BROADCAST,LINK1> mtu 1514
loop0: flags=110<MULTICAST,LOOPBACK> mtu 16384            

        So I add my address using
ifconfig rtl81390 192.168.0.5 up netmask 255.255.255.0

        which gives me
rtl81390: flags=2039<UP,RUNNING,MULTICAST,BROADCAST,LINK1> mtu 1514
        inet 192.168.0.5 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
loop0: flags=110<MULTICAST,LOOPBACK> mtu 16384                         

        but when I try a ping I get the error 
error: unknown protocol icmp: error -2147459069 [No such file or 
directory] 

        Is this what I am supposed to be doing?

Cheers
David
