Hi,

my new board (GA-8ST, P4, single-CPU, SiS Chipset) has a RealTek 8139 
on board which isn't working with Linux 2.4.xx (tried 2.4.18, 2.4.19, 
2.4.20rc1 and  2.4.20rc2).

I've attached lspci, dmesg and config from my  2.4.20rc2 and from a 
2.2.20, where the NIC is working like a charm....

2.2.20:
eth0: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet at 0xe000, IRQ 11, 
00:20:ed:3a:f5:ee.


2.4.20-rc2:
8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.26
eth0: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet at 0xd082f000, 00:20:ed:3a:f5:ee, 
IRQ 19
eth0:  Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8139C'
eth0: Setting 100mbps full-duplex based on auto-negotiated partner 
ability 45e1.
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
eth0: Tx queue start entry 4  dirty entry 0.
eth0:  Tx descriptor 0 is 00002000. (queue head)
eth0:  Tx descriptor 1 is 00002000.
eth0:  Tx descriptor 2 is 00002000.
eth0:  Tx descriptor 3 is 00002000.


I've also tried 8139cp, but the driver says that my nic isn't a 8139C+ 
and I should try 8139too instead - with no success as you can see....


If I can help any further, let me know (please with an additional 
personal addressed E-Mail).


Bye
  Michael
