FROM: Jeff Clark DATE: 08/09/2000 17:53:54 SUBJECT:  [LRP] prob`s with dual rtl8139 cards   I`m attempting to help a friend set up an LRP box but am having greatdifficulties with the rtl8139 cards he`s using. He`s running a Cyrix 686-90mhz w/ 64Mb and 2 rtl8139 based PCI cards. He`s set BIOS PNP/PCI settings to NonPNP OS, auto configure resources, andhas performed and ECSD update.He`s running the Eiger Dynamic image from Charles` site.He has downloaded and added the rtl8139 module from Charle`s site (v1.07) Here`s the problem: when the LRP reaches the rtl8139 modules during boot up,the link light on both cards goes out and stays out.  The console shows themodule finding both cards cleanly - good i/o`s and irq`s.  The system bootsup all the way and attempts to to obtain a lease from the DHCP server at@home with no luck. He`s tried connecting either of the the cards to a hub and the hub`s linklight is on while the card`s is off.He can ping successfully from an NT box to eth1 but can`t ping from the LRPto the NT box over eth1. The only way to get the link lights back on is to hard reset the box.   Any suggestions?
