Network; UNEX Card (RealTek8139) wont work...

[Tor Arvid Lund <Tor.Arvid.Lund@ericsson.no>]

Hi all

Sorry to bother you all with my (apparently endless) problem...

I have a UNEX ND010 network adapter, a cheap card thats supposed to be RealTek 
8139 compatible.

When I insmod it (the rtl8139 module with kernel 2.2.19) everything is fine, or 
so it seems... When i start it with ifconfig it also seems fine. My routing is 
set up correctly, I believe (only two computers at home on a hub, so shouldn't 
be much of a problem).

When I ping, nothing happens.

So, after a lot of RTFM time with no luck, I think to myself:
OK, maybe upgrade the kernel to 2.4.5 which I have on a CD. Then I can try the 
8139too module, someone on this group claimed it was much better.

insmod 8139too -> OK
ifconfig blahblah -> Segmentation fault -> Machine hangs

I've also tried the ne2k_pci, via_rhine and 8390 modules. The first two fails on 
init_module, and the last yields the same result as the 8139too module.

The card seems to have the correct settings. 'more /proc/pci' lists the correct 
io and irq settings. I've tried to turn the BIOS PNP OS setting on and off...

Maybe theres something obvious that I didn't think of. Please tell me if you 
have any ideas.
