No Realtek 8139c support?

Linux Kernel 2.6 Ubuntu distro does not auto detect my NIC during install...
I am having problems finding any drivers or anyone else having a similar
problem, does anyone have any ideas as to where I might find anything that
could help me in my struggle?

Thanks,
Nolan

I dunno about any autodetection, but I use the 8139too module with my SMC
1211TX (8139 chipset), and it works just fine.

Might I ask as to what driver you installed to get your chipset to work??

I seem to be coming up dry with every google attempt thus far...

On a side note... I just booted into Knoppix, and the NIC works fine
there...internet access and everything..

Soo.... I guess that tells me that the problem lies with ubuntu...any
suggestions?

Is it a pci or pcmcia card? Did you try installing with the noapic option?
A few details wouldn't go astray

Try using the noapic option on install. Is it a pcmcia card or pci?

On my Fedora Core 3, kernel 2.6.10, realtek 8139 NIC works fine.

As I said before, it's 8139too. In the kernel config: Device drivers
-> Networking -> Ethernet (10 or 100 Mbit) -> RealTek RTL-8139 PCI
(not C+ PCI).

Most 8139's use 8139too, some use 8139cp.
This may be a case of misidentifying the card, or trying to load both
drivers.
Find out which one knoppix uses, and put the other one in
/etc/hotplug/blacklist, so it won't be loaded.
