[olug] new kernel

[Nate Rotschafer]

Sure....make a lilo bootdisk though I don't know how because I have never 
had a reason to make one.  The Zonet actually uses the Realtek chipset hence 
the detection as a Realtek so the Realtek 8139 driver is quite possibly the 
proper driver to utilize.  You will not be able to boot off of a vfat 
partition probably and it seems as if you did not compile in support for 
vfat.
