Very unlikely, but I'm by far not the only Michael here :)
a RealTek isn't the best you can get performance-wise but usually they=20=

just work. At least in my experience.

d-link uses RealTek and VIA chips (and probably others too). You may=20
very well end up with a RTL8139 labeled d-link DL-whatever :)

I use a DEC 21140 (on a UMAX E100 - need additional kernel support) -=20
works fine.

umm, the hostname resolves correctly, the path is ok - are you sure=20
you're not behind some firewall which blocks port 6704? I can't use=20
port 80 because my ISP blocks it for connection from outside.
I could mail you the kernel, but it's ~2.5MB bzip2 compressed.

have fun
Michael
