Network card problem, wrong IRQ
I've installed mandrake 9 and from the start my network card wouldn't work. I ran the network configuration wizard several times and counldn't get it to work. I checked Linux and in the boot message said the IRQ for my network card was 0 but wheni checked windows XP it listed it as 23. I have a Realtek RTL8139 Pci card, and its drivers are included in the OS, and linux recongnized it and lists the correct drivers. So i guess i need to change the IRQ setting for this card in linux. Can anyone help on how to do this.
Thanks

Sound like your kernel does not support the card. I would suggest you run the dmesg | more command and see if the kernel recognized your card when it booted. If not, you will have to check the linux h/w docs and see if your cards chipset is supported and rebuild the kernel to support this card.
