when i run dsl 0.80 i see a message about eth0 but when i try to connect to internet or to configure with dhcp panel nothing...

does anyone can help me ?

thank you
does it have a pcmcia slot? if so, go to walmart and pick up a Linksys ethernet card for $30 US.

might be under the name "Networking for Everyone" or something like that, but it's still Linksys.

just make sure it's old pcmcia, and not new cardbus.

look for the gold contact at the plug end. if it has that, its a cardbus.
