Package: linux-image-2.6
Severity: important

Hi,


at boot time 8139too and 8139cp get loaded. This causes many package collisions and drops resulting in a horribly slow connection, even tough it should be about 100Mbit. By removing the 8139cp module things start to work proper ( no more new collisions according to /proc/net/dev). For now I blacklisted the module but this seems to be a problem for lots of people (according to google). I am filing this bug against linux-image-2.6 since this applies to lots of kernels ( I am not even sure if this bug should be against the kernel or udev).

Thanks,
Sebastian


Here is the output of lspci which might help to identify the card since the module gets used by different cards:

Ok, closing, then.
