[realtek] Module loading at startup

[Jonas Valkiunas]

Donald, you're the man...this did the trick:

cat /etc/conf.modules:
alias eth0 tulip
alias eth1 realtek

changed to:
alias eth0 tulip
alias eth1 rtl8139

Now, I suppose the makers of Kudzu/RH should be made aware...?

Thanks!
-Jonas

Make certain that the following line appears in /etc/conf.modules:
________________
alias eth1 rtl8139

That evil "kudzu" program is supposed to do this in RH6.2.  Evil, evil,
evil..
