Hi Agniezka et al, I tried the rtl8169 driver on my workstation Kvadrat. The first thing I encountered was a problem with compilation - I tried compiling for ia32, but that failed. I've yet to compile a 64-bit compiler. So I fixed/worked around the compilation issues and booted the system.
The driver did not attach - I found out that my Realtek is a RTL8168, PCI VID:PID is 10EC:8168. I added those to the .ma file and booted again. The drivrer attached and correctly read out the MAC address. I connected via a cable to my laptop and ran Wireshark on the other side. Configured an IP address and tried pinging. The result: frames were properly being sent (Wireshark saw them), but the responses were apparently not being received. Unfortunately I did not have the time to dig deeper into it. Would you expect this kind of behavior if the driver did not receive any interrupts at all? Or would it not work at all? Given that USB is not working on that machine and I am sometimes getting 'spurious interrupt' messages for keypresses (currently only if the system does not boot all the way to the desktop), it could be a problem with interrupt handling on my machine, rather than with the driver. Best regards, Jiri
