which version of the rtl8139.c driver are u using?
When comparing the init_module()-fragment of the rtl8139.c that came
with the 2.2.14 kernel (v1.07) with the current version (v1.16a):
v1.07:
int init_module(void)
{
return rtl8139_probe(0);
}
v1.16a:
int init_module(void)
{
if (debug) /* Emit version even if no cards detected. */
printk(KERN_INFO "%s" KERN_INFO "%s", versionA, versionB);
#ifdef CARDBUS
register_driver(&realtek_ops);
return 0;
#else
return pci_drv_register(&rtl8139_drv_id, NULL);
#endif
}
...I somehow get the impression that CARDBUS support might not have
been present in the earlier version of the driver. So, it might be
worth trying a newer version. Not sure, though, whether the new
version will work with the old kernel -- but why not simply try?
There isn't much to lose ;) If the most recent version doesn't
compile/work, maybe some other version in between v1.07-1.16 does.
Also, as you said you already had it working in RH 6.1, you might want
to figure out which mix of versions was in use there, and try those...
