Re: bug with rtl8139

[Henry Palonen <henkka-at-yty.net>]

Hello.

You could also handle this like any other linux-module, eg.
you could just add

alias eth0 rtl8139

to your /etc/conf.modules (or /etc/modules.conf in some newer systems)
and run "depmod -a" command. That should enable automatic
module-loading for your NIC during boot-time.

Best regards,

Henkka
