ok then i type system-config-network
and go to the hardware tab,i select my network card, RTL-

i dont know what dma1 or 0 is but it put 3000 in the IO and e0200000
in th IO field right?, i leave the rest of the fields empty mostly
cuz i dont know wat to put in them then when i close it i asks me if
i want ti save then the error message: The Ethernet card could not
be initialized. PLease Vreify your settings and try again. Command
