Type this:

ifconfig --help

and you will get the following output.
Use the output to determine how you need to enter your IP parameters.


Usage:
 ifconfig [-a] [-v] [-s] <interface> [[<AF>] <address>]
 [add <address>[/<prefixlen>]]
 [del <address>[/<prefixlen>]]
 [[-]broadcast [<address>]]  [[-]pointopoint [<address>]]

Most realtek cards work great in Linux.

You forgot one dash "-" symbol for your help.

The command is:

ifconfig --help

and NOT

ifconfig -help

Also, if you want to use a static IP address, you can boot with:

dsl xsetup nodhcp

and then run the netcardconfig script and manually enter your network TCP/IP settings.
hooray!!!
that worked
dhcp stoping broadcasting worked

now i am online with dsl
