Im having a problem trying to get a realtek 8139 network card to work.
Running Redhat 8, kernel 2.4.18-14, mecer 266+ notebook. (this is a new dual
boot install. card works under w2k - yuck!)
Runs into a BayStack 450 Switch (Link light is on - so the point is live)
dmesg states
divert: allocating divert_blk for eth0
eth0: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet at 0xe6913000, 00:40:ca:b7:46:e0, IRQ9
eth0: Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8139C'
eth0: Setting 100mbps full-duplex based on auto-negotiated partner ability
41e1.
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
eth0: Tx descriptor 0 is 00002000.
eth0: Tx descripter 1 is 00002000.
eth0: Tx descripter 2 is 00002000.
eth0: Tx descripter 3 is 00002000. (queue head)
eth0: Setting 100mbps full-duplex based on auto-negotiated partner ability

lspci states
00:08.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd
RTL-8139/8139C/8139
C+ (rev10)
Subsystem: FIRST INTERNATIONAL Computer Inc: Unknown device 2420
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 9
I/O ports at 2000 [size=256]
memory at e0004000 (32-bit, non-prefecthable) [size=256]
Capabilities: [50] Power management version 2
lsmod states
Module Size Used by Not tainted
8139too 17704 1
mii 2156 0 [8139too]
/etc/modules.conf states
alias eth0 8139too
options 8139too IRQ=9
The network service starts up fine, has a fixed IP, this tells me that there
is nothing wrong with the module, if I try and browse or ping anything then
it does nothing...
So if I set it to dhcp, run ifup eth0 that fails, also in /var/log/messages
I get
Jul 24 10:33:22 venus dhclient: No DHCPOFFERS received.
Any help would be appreciated ...
