Hi,
You will have to define some options, what I did was this:
1.- In the BIOS of my computer I enabled the PCI BUS MASTER Option.
2.- I had to add the following: "media 100baseTX" (Select 100BaseT on a
100/10 dual adaptor) in the Extra options to ifconfig Section in sysinstall.
After that, I had no problem at all.
I hope this helps...
Ales
