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
