recuriing error #5

Hi,

i just upgraded to 2.4.20, found that i needed to use scyld's rtl8139
drivers to get my realtec's to work with the new kernel.

after some playing round i was able to compile and insert them into the
kernel, upon install, both of my realtec NIC's were initiated showing me
there specific info's address, irq's ....

i can't get them to actually work though, i have them both listed when i do
an ifconfig, all the addressing is right. i keep getting the same error,

    eth0: RTL8139 interrupt line blocked, error 5.

i found some info bout how there are sometime issues with full duplex, so i
removed then reinserted them with full_duplex=0. still getting the same
error. Wondering has anyone come accross this before, or does anyone have
any ideas?

here is the contents of a  'lspci -v'
