compaq v2000 laptop

[geisj at pagestation.com (Jerry Geis)]

Hi,

I have a compaq V2000 laptop. Specs for network say its a realtek 
8139/8139C+
NIC.

Other distros (namely suse) said there was no problem with this was 
detected
and worked.

Mine does not work on either of the 2 V2000 laptops I have.

I tried manually loading the 8139cp module then restarting the network and
that did not do it.

Any ideas?

Jerry
