The problem is that it takes a while at start time for my box to switch from "8139cp" to "8139too" Is there a way I could tell my box to use the driver 8139too instead of it choosing the 8139cp? Sorry if I am not being clear and concise. I have just started with Linux and I am learning at the moment.Welcome to the community, For your problem you could try placing 8139too into /etc/modules That might see that your 8139too driver gets loaded first. Incidentally comment any references to 8139cp that you run across. HTH Adrian
After one day of trying to dig up a solution for my problem. I have given up Nothing seems to be working. I still get the same error message"8139cp 0000:03:08.0: This (id 10ec:8139 rev 10) is not an 8139C+ compatible chip"
There seems to be a bug with the driver 8139too with realtek ethernet card. http://groups.google.fr/group/comp.os.linux.hardware/browse_thread/thread/7cc2d557544f3228/ca5ce7244b8e55a8?hl=fr&lnk=st&q=8139cp+This+is+not+an+8139C%2B+compatible+chip#ca5ce7244b8e55a8 My biggest trouble is that I haven't found any fix for it.What is hard to understand is that when I do a lspci -v I can clearly see that the two modules are loaded (8139cp, and 8139too). So why on earth would I still get this error message if the module 8139too is loaded in the kernel. My network card should be up and working. Shouldn't it. Unfortunatly, I am not experienced enough to dig deeper than that. Hope someone could give me hand here :)
