solving the rtl8139 IRQ problem

Hi,

Just solved the problem I had when I did an insmod on the rtl8139.o

the error: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod 
errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or 
IRQ settings

I use acpi now which cures the IRQ routing table problem I had before. 
Disabling PnP in the BIOS didn't work for my network card (it did a couple of 
months back when I got ieee1394 running).

set me on the right track.

I got the kernel patch from http://sourceforge.net/projects/acpi
and rebuild my kernel as usuall. All fine.

Hope this helps for some of you ...


Greetings Ferry
