Subject: rtl8139 drivers
Date: Mon, 22 Oct 2001 16:12:13 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3BD48BAD.4936C0E6@www.IN.gov> (raw)
Hello,
I just installed linux on a box with a builtin Realtek 8139 chipset.
Using the 8139too.o module caused all kinds of performance problems, and
there are suspicious statements in the 8139too.txt file:
THIS DRIVER IS A DEVELOPMENT RELEASE FOR A DEVELOPMENT KERNEL. DO NOT
USE IN A PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT.
However, I've used Donald Becker's rtl8139 driver in the past without
issues, and I'm using them now with v2.4.10. I would like to request
that the stable code go back in place, please -- perhaps users can
choose between rtl8139 and 8139too?
Thanks!
