    I certainly hope you mean 2.2.20, instead of 2.2.0!!!

    What problems did you have installing 2.4.19 and .21? They are
    what you should be running. I have an 8139 working just fine
    with 2.4.20.

    Besides, how can we help you without specific data, like snippets
    from /var/log/syslog and dmesg.

    Also, if you are a Linux newbie, or a Linux vet who is more comfortable
    with the auto-detection and GUI niceties that other distros offer,
    you might want Libranet, instead. It's fully Debian compatible.
