ok the laptop is a HP dv1000, with 3 partitions: c: winXP, d: ntfs data and f: FC5 (previously) but now installed Mandriva 2008 RC2. 100GB HD, and 1G RAM

eth0 - Realtek Semiconductor (RTL -8139 )

eth1 (wirless) - ipw2200

intel GMA 9xx graphics

as for the mouse its a small usb mouse for laptop (no brand)

when i try to set up a new network interface i get this error:

unable to find network interface for selected device (using 8139too driver)

Realtek Semiconductor Co LTD ....

and at this point im not trying to set up my wireless, im trying to set up the eth cable

Blacklist either the "8139too" or the "8139cp" module - whichever doesn't work for you. Only one of them should be loaded at a time.

If needed, add to your modprobe.conf file a line like

alias eth0 8139too

or

alias eth0 8139cp

accordingly.
