static const char *version =
"rtl8139.c:v1.04 9/22/98 Donald Becker
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/rtl8139.html\n";
I copied the compiled version of this driver to
/lib/modules/2.2.14-12/net/rtl8139.o
2.2.14 does not support this driver and i downloaded it with the other files
and compiled... But it does not works on my system.
