Hi, Santa Claus ;-)) just brought me a Longshine Fast Ethernet card with a RTL8139B-chipset. I'm using kernel 2.2.17 on an 164LX and tried both version 1.07 and 1.12 of the rtl8139 driver (the latter from scyld.com).
The card ist detected and I can set up the interface, but when network traffic appaers (a SMB request from my parents' Windows95 pc - same network card) I get a hard lockup with the following error: Kernel panic: skput:over: fffffe00008149a:-4 put:-4 In swapper task - not syncing At that point the kernel is really "dead", Alt-SysRq doesn't work and gives even more errors. Has anybody (hopefully positive) experience with the 8139-chipset (especially in an LX-board) ?? Any solutions to my problem ?? Thanks, Marius Hillenbrand -- living a RISCy life
