This is a confirmation of the bad problem with the via-rhine module for the latest version of the 386 version of the 2.6.8 kernel.
I "upgraded" today from kernel-image-2.6.8.2-386 version 2.6.8-13 to 2.6.8-16, and my network card (D-link 10/100 DFE-530TX) that is controlled by the via-rhine module immediately quit working. This card/via-rhine module pair has been working for me without problems for 5 years under Debian until now. Since this is such a heavily used networking module, I consider it is critical to fix this recently introduced problem before the release. Alan W. Irwin __________________________ Alan W.
