Hello hackers :)

I'am running Debian GNU/Linux 2.4.19 on my old laptop : "Gateway SOLO 2500".
My harddisk is broken. So i'd like to transform this laptop to an diskless station.
My ethernet card is an Cardbus D-Link DFE-690TXD (RealTek RTL8139).
This card works very well with the 8139too driver.
But the boot sequence seems to be illogical with IP-Config and NFSROOT :

<dmesg>

nfsroot=192.168.0.129:/nfs/jose console=ttyS00,9600n8

</syslinux.cfg>

At first the kernel try to setup the network with IP-Config and after load the 8139too driver.
There is something wrong, isn't it? How can I fix it?

PS : sorry for my english.
