I re-seated the ethernet card; I had been inside the case earlier in the day to upgrade a modem's firmware, and I guess the card got jostled a bit :-(
Anyways. My RTK8029 card works now :-)
I like the patch too. Package it and ship it :-)
Would somebody make sure that RTK8029 support is clearly listed in the docs! I've already seen a bunch of messages on this topic on USENET.
Thanks.
