Good day.
I'm unable to make working NICs containing Realtek 8139 chips - it is true for
the latest updated Debian stable packets (let's call it B) - for the older ones
(let's call it A) it seems working, though linux image is used the same (and it
is where the drivers for te NICs are, as I suppose).
After some Internet search and reading of the ethernet-howto - I found that I
have to use drivers as kernel modules 8139cp or 8139too. On A I see (with
lsmod) the drivers are loaded and the interfaces are up and running, while on
the B - the very same hardware (the NICs) refuses to function (again, the very
same drivers modules are loaded automatically) - when I do
# ifup eth0
it says that I have no such device and some other errors. while lspci shows
both of the devices. But in the /dev dir. I see no eth* devices.
I never had problems like this (all NICs always worked out of the box for me) and I do
not know how I can solve the problem that seems "just should not to be". So I
ask for Your help.
Thanks for Your time.
PS Please, reply to the list.
8139too is working fine for me, so shows me lspci -v; on a up to date
lenny-machine.
maybe a hardware problem?
regards,
steef
