Guys I need help with this rtl8139 issue. Eth0 connects to cable modem ….while watching back of Eth0….link drops when it trys to get address from ATT ….i take out UTP wire from cable modem and hook into switch and link light comes back and Dachstein CD 1.0.2 gets address from 2k server in garage (dhcp scope). What could this be … im pullin my hair out ..hehe.   P.S.   I have reset the modem several times.           ATT pushes out dhcp address to client via mac address which I have set via (ip link set eth0 address ma:ca:dd:re:ss:00 in network.cfg)
