| |
My RTL8139 (Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8139A') was fine in 2.4.3 and doesnt work in 2.4.5. Copying the 2.4.3 version of 8139too.c makes things work again.
Since lots of people complained about this, I have not tried to debug - maybe a fixed version already exists?
One remark: 2.4.5 says "eth1: media is unconnected, link down, or incompatible connection" coming from 8139too.c line 1367. The code there is
if (mii_reg5) { printk(KERN_INFO"%s: Setting %s%s-duplex based on" " auto-negotiated partner ability %4.4x.\n", dev->name, mii_reg5 == 0 ? "" : (mii_reg5 & 0x0180) ? "100mbps " : "10mbps ", tp->full_duplex ? "full" : "half", mii_reg5); } else { printk(KERN_INFO"%s: media is unconnected, link down, " "or incompatible connection\n", dev->name); }
where mii_reg5 is tested against zero inside a conditional where we know that it is nonzero. Probably the outer test is wrong.
