I was able to make it work by filling in /etc/network/interfaces, but alone it cannot even ping regularly. It works at high speed when a companion smc dongle is there.

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.24
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.100

The same machine has problems with:
(lsusb output)
Bus 003 Device 009: ID 0bda:8189 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8187B Wireless 802.11g 54Mbps Network Adapter
(it only works at high signal levels)
and
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10)
(only works with xorg.conf setup in vesa driver mode)

I am not aware of any installation problems apart of the usual intrepid problems with static interfaces...

Em resumo, uma seca para masoquistas...para que me meti nisto...

Cheers
