RealTek 8129/8139

Another PCI single chip ethernet solution from RealTek. A driver for
cards based upon this chip was included in the v2.0.34 release of
linux. You currently have to answer `Y' when asked if you want
experimental drivers for v2.2 kernels to get access to this driver.

>Hi all,
> I hope this is the right list. I am a linux novice and trying to
>build a firewall. I am using redhat 6.0. I have two nics, one is a mx
>chipset which linux detects and uses a tulip driver, the other is an
>RTL8139B chipset which linux finds just fine. At bootup the mx nic is
>brought up as eth0 and works fine. this is the nic connected to the
>internet. My problem occurs when I attempt to bring up eth1 using ifconfig.
>When I do this I get the following error message: "eth1 Couldn't allocate a
>65536 byte receive ring. SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot allocate memory." This
>machine has a P133 w/ 16 Mbs of memory and a very minimal installation (ie.
>no X windows). If I do "ifconfig -a" I can see eth0 and eth1 (as well as
>lo). I don't know if this is a memory problem or if this is problem w/ the
>card itself or perhaps I have not configured something correctly. Please
>let me know if more info is needed. Thank you in advance for any assistance
>that can be provided.
