Hi.

I can confirm that, as robot5x states, the driver for this card is 8139too.

it also helps to say what kernel you are using as setups differ from 2.4 and 2.6? Everyone wants to help and all we need the the info.

* as root open an editor and add 8139too to /etc/rc.conf MODULES=()

* reboot

* open an xterm or a console and type:

ifconfig

then post what comes out here in the forum

* then, again type:

dmesg | grep eth0

and also post this output to the forum

then maybe we can see what is wrong with it

that is the only thing I have changed beyond setting eth0="dhcp" and gatway to my home gateway.

hmm, you must deactivate gateway, if you using dhcp (!gateway)

after removing (disabling with "!") the gateway, if it is enabled (do not have ! infront of it), try this as root:

ifconfig eth0 up
and then 
dhcpcd

and then again check if eth0 is working or not

it should be something like this:
