Hi,

I got a PCMCIA Linksys WPC11 (version 4) and as it was expected from
Linksys they changed the chip without changing the model of the
product. It uses a Realtek 8139, which should use the rl* driver but
the dmesg output says that it is not configured. I'll type in the
most relevant info about dmesg.

<-- START dmesg -->

<-- END dmesg -->

How could I make it work since my return period has passed. Or where
could I find documentation for making a driver. It could also be
defective hardware but I don't have another laptop to test it on.

Any suggestions?

Diego
