Recently I had problems with the rtl8139 and the 8139too kernel modules with Bering 1.2 on a Axiom Single Board Computer. After looking at the leaf-user group I noticed that others were having similar problems, e.g. kernel panics. Since I did not have the option of using a different NIC (all the slots in the industrial-type case are in use and the NIC was integrated on the SBC) I decided to attempt the solve the problem.
Long story short (my two previous, lengthy posts were rejected because I was using the wrong "From" address) this problem is solved if one downloads the new rtl8139 driver from Scyld and compiles it with the 2.4.20 kernel source. You have to download the 2.4.20 kernel source if you are using the stock Bering woody UML development environment that is available for download. The stock UML environment has the 2.4.18 kernel source and will not build a usable kernel module for Bering 1.2 (the hardware MAC and ethernet broadcast addresses will not be correctly read). I can contribute a working rtl8139 kernel module if anybody is interested. -jd ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
