I'm making use of RealTek RTL8139 driver (as a module): What Ethernet card? Is it PCI connected on the motherboard, a mini-PCI card plugged into the system, or a CardBus card? If it's a CardBus card, the resource allocation problem is with PCMCIA code. Otherwise it's a bus bridge configuration issue. What is the detection message put out by the driver? What is reported about the NIC by 'lspci -v' or 'cat /proc/pci'? > % rtl8139-diag -eam > rtl8139-diag.c:v2.06 3/22/2002 Donald Becker ([email protected]) > http://www.scyld.com/diag/index.html > Index #1: Found a RealTek RTL8139 adapter at 0x1c00. > This chip has not been assigned a valid IRQ, and will not function. > This must be fixed in the PCI BIOS setup.
