Hi All, I've run MS Windows update on a dual boot box which has a Realtek (RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ rev 10) card. I thought that the update just updated the driver on MS Windows, but I fear it may have messed up the firmware. I say this because when I boot in Linux either the 8139too module which is built in the kernel (2.6.20-gentoo-r6) does not seem to work, or/and dhcpcd times out.
eth0 is not shown under ifconfig by running /etc/init.d/net.eth0 after dhcpd times out and it only comes up after I run ifconfig eth0 up. Has anyone using this card noticed this? Is the kernel driver too old (is there a later 8139too module)? -- Regards, Mick
