I believe the card is a D-Link DFE-530TX+ PCI adapter.

That probably uses the rtl8139.o module. You will find
it in the net directory of the 2.2.26 modules (BL3 site).
Put it in /lib/modules/2.2.26/misc. Then do:

the driver rtl8139.o was not on the BL3 site. I started up Knoppix

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/baslinux/add-ons/2_2_26/modules/net/rtl8139.o

Or follow the link from the home page for BL3.40, for additional kernels and modules, modules, net.

and downloaded the linux driver from the dlink site but so far have
not been able to copy it to the basiclinux harddrive. It's also in
txt format with a .c extention. I don't know if that will work.


This is the source code and it would need to be compiled before use.

I
also downloaded it on my windowsxp machine and put it on a floppy but
for some reason basiclinux will not read the floppy so I can copy it

Sometimes floppy drives get out of alignment and you can't read what they write on any other floppy drive.

You can check the alignment with 'fdformat' command. If you get a high number it is out of alignment.

Try formatting the disk you want to copy to on the linux computer that would not read the XP disk, then write to this disk with the XP computer. That has worked for us when we have a worn-out laptop floppy drive that we cannot replace.
