Like I asked before:

What's in your /etc/network/interfaces file?

I tried first with 8139cp and ran :

du:~# ifconfig eth1 10.0.0.221 255.255.255.0 up
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device


Doesn't work. Now with 8139too:

du:~# ifconfig eth1 10.0.0.221 255.255.255.0 up
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device


Nothing!!! Does anybody knows how can I put this NIC to work?

I have a new Network Card, and I found the VENDOR ID and the
DEVICE ID.
I found it in "lspci -nv" and later looking for the given number in
/var/libs/pciutils/pci.ids, but now, how do I know which driver to
use? And if Debian has it compiled?

The card is (listed with pci.ids) :

1904 Hangzhou Silan Microelectronics Co., Ltd.
8139 RTL8139D [Realtek] PCI 10/100BaseTX ethernet adaptor

Now, the output of lspci -v :

0000:00:0b.0 Ethernet controller: Hangzhou Silan Microelectronics
Co.,
Ltd. RTL8139D [Realtek] PCI 10/100BaseTX ethernet adaptor (rev 01)

I think is the Driver 8139too, but when I modprobe it, my Network
Cards still doesnt work.

If I do "ifconfig eth1 10.0.0.221 255.255.255.0 up" it says No
Such Device.

8139too would also be my guess.

What's in your /etc/network/interfaces file?

There is also 8139cp which according to the comments in the source file
supports "8139C+" cards/chipsets from Realtek. I don't know if that
includes 8139D, but it might be worth a try.

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
