Re: [leaf-user] RealTek nic problem
In /etc/modules it appears to depend only on mii.o that I loaded. Anny further sugestion ?

You have the disk and all the configuration there and all I have seen is a couple of interpretations made by you. It would not be any different if I was to ask you what was wrong with my car because I hear a noise under the hood.. I am truly stabbing in the dark w/o better diagnogstics as requested by the SR-FAQ linked at the bottom of _every_ post to this list. It's likely the reason no one else has replied (they have _no_ actual information from the box to work with). That being said (as clearly as I can in a nice way). Assuming you are using modules from the correct kernel tarball, I would say that you are likely _not_ using a 8139 chipset, which can be verified by looking at the NIC itself (the chip will have a marking like 'rtl8139' on it. This idea is based from the results that I get insmod'ing the same modules on my machine w/o a 8139 card and the fact that several people have reported the same problem with the ne2k-pci card using the 8139too module (which they also claimed worked with another full distribution). Personally I would try the pci-scan.o, 8390.o, and ne2k-pci.o modules (assuming Becker modules) it sure won't hurt to try. Though this same thing has been reported before, there is absolutely no way the 8139too module should _ever_ work with a 'ne' chipsetthese are entirely different and non-compatible chipsets. Either way, the chip should be marked with the proper identification if you take a look at it. Otherwise, we'll need diagnostic information to be of any help! ;) -- ~Lynn Avants Linux Embedded Appliance Firewall Developer http://leaf.sourceforge.net http://guitarlynn.homelinux.org:81 --- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: eBay Great deals on office technology -- on eBay now!

You could also try downloading Donald Becker's driver's from scyld and patching that into your kernel.

RE: [leaf-user] RealTek nic problem
In my messings about with this stuff, I seemed to frequently get my versions mixed up. It would be worthwhile to check that the mii.o and the 8139too modules are compiled against the kernel you are using. I have used mii and 8139too in the past without any trouble. PCI-Scan and rtl8139 is probably a more mainstream combination though?
