Hi, The first reason I got in this nigthmare is because I have 2 NIK's (one is new on this machin), and the kernel can't handel 2 RealTek 8139 NIK (I think...because the second I plug the second NIK errors start poping up, errors like : kernel: eth0: PCI Bus error 8139. kernel: eth0: Too much work at interrupt, IntrStatus=0x000 over and over....), all the googlling point to one conclusion, new diver...
BTW, there are 2 drivers, the first one, from realtek and the second one is from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel/... If anyone can give me a direction, a spot of ligth, or just a good advise...
