some of the newer RTL8139 cards need a newer driver, and there are a few other there (some come from a company called SMC) that are "mislabled" and need an updated driver to work as well.
I have several RTL8139-based cards running great in linux. the driver seems to be better then the 3com one, as my rtl8139s can transfer data 200% faster then my 3C905b/3c905c (5.5MB/s as opposed to 11MB/s on the rtl8139 on 100baseT switched) see http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/rtl8139.html for more info on the rtl8139 drivers nate On Tue, 4 Apr 2000, Chris Mason wrote: chris >Yeh, I agree. Don't worry about it, I am trying somehting else. I have two cards that use the rtl8139.o module, one is in and working, now I have to figure how to install a second one. Should be much easier since there is only one module needed. chris >Any suggestions? chris > chris >Chris Mason chris >Box 340, The Valley, Anguilla, British West Indies chris >Tel: 264 497 5670 Fax: 264 497 8463 chris >USA Fax (561) 382-7771 chris >Take a virtual tour of the island chris >http://net.ai/ The Anguilla Guide chris >Find out more about NetConcepts chris >www.netconcepts.ai chris >bwz*mq chris > chris >-----Original Message----- chris >From: aphro [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] chris >Sent: Tuesday, April 04, 2000 5:10 PM chris >To: Chris Mason chris >Cc: Debian-User; recipient.list.not.shown:; chris >Subject: Re: Inter pro100 chris > chris > chris >i would reccomend agianst this, BUT if you really need one you would have chris >to specify what kernel you are using, and what processor you have/what is chris >the kernel compiled for. chances are a binary module wouldn't load there chris >is just too many things that could go wrong. i suggest if you want an chris >eepro driver you get a completly compiled kernel with the driver in chris >it.
