I'll go ahead and install the Linux system from CD.  As it is now I am
just booting from a Debian 3.0 install cd and dropping down to a shell.
I was hoping to install from the network.  Where do I get the
rtl8139-diag program or source? Does it come with Debian or can I grab
it from scyld.com?

Thanks for the help.
