[ltp] Kernel 2.4.20 and PCMCIA

[Kang Tin LAI]

I don't know how to set eth0 to use 8139, anyway, if you have only one 8139 or 
other LAN card installed, then this 8139 is set to eth0.

Suppose hardware of eth0 (8139) already working, and the IP is: 192.168.1.2 and 
gateway is: 192.168.1.254 for your TP.

Shell command to set up eth0:

ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2
route add default gw 192.168.1.254

Netmask will set to 255.255.255.0 automatically.

Hope Help.
