scarecrow Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 (edited) 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.
