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! -- "There's nothing that the proper funk cannot render funkable" - +--------------+--------------------+---------------+-- G.
