[root at William /root]# rmmod rtl8139
[root at William /root]# modprobe eth0
[root at William /root]# lsmod
Module        Size       Used by

> You could manually bring up the network card with a command like
> "ifconfig eth0 90.0.0.3"
> Then try to "ping 90.0.0.1"

[root at William /root]# ifconfig eth0 90.0.0.3

[root at William /root]# ping 90.0.0.1
