[Bug 60943] Re: Install not detecting/setting up network card(s)

[cbrockman]

In case Gerald Butler doesn't respond, I'll add a note to this report. I
also had a problem with the Realtek 8139 network card. I moved to Debian
Sarge (kernel version 2.6.18-4-486) and the system worked perfectly.
Unfortunately for the purposes of this bug report, I no longer have
Ubuntu available to test.

See the related 8139 bugs:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/48456
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hwdb-client/+bug/83268

Perhaps those bugs could be set for expiration too.

[Bug 48456] Re: kubuntu 6.06 LTS does not support Realtek 8139 network card

[cbrockman]

Apparently there is an upstream fix for this RTL8139 problem. I tried a
floppy-booted install of Debian Sarge (version 3.1) which recognized the
8139D just fine. That Debian distribution had trouble partitioning one
of my hard disk drives to ext3 so I created the boot, root and network
driver floppies for the current beta of Debian Etch (version 4.0). That
2.6.18-4-486 kernel had no trouble with the Realtek card nor the
partitioning so I did a full install of that distribution.  Now I have
my network back.

This problem appears to be similar if not identical to that reported in
Bug #48456 (https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-

Installation of the the Realtek 8139 network card also fails on my
computer. I'm running the version 2.6.15-23-386 kernel (Xubuntu 6.06).
When the boot stalls at "8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.27" I can get
past the hangup by removing and then reinserting the network cable. The
next message in the dmesg log ("PCI: Setting latency timer of device
:00:0b.0 to 64") is not displayed on the terminal until the boot
continues past the stall. Adding "irqpoll" and "noapic" to the boot
command line have no effect.

The pertinent sequences from dmesg and lspci are shown in the attached
8139fail.txt.

This same network card worked in this computer with the Breezy Badger
release of Xubuntu.
