Subject[2.4] 8139too driver gives many errors and collisions
Hi all.

I'm using 2 Ethernet card based on the chip RTL8139C made by Skintek.
These cards work with the 8139too.o module (that I've tried to build
with various options) , but I get on both the boards , with variuous
Cables tried the same error:

During the connection I get very much collsions and also some error
packages under a very low connection load .

In paricular I have an ADSL Ethernet Modem , that is plugged to one of
these cards , and using various file sharing programs like xMule
immediatly I get collisions , and my connection is only 256Kbit/s !!!

This is the result of a "ping -f _modem_" :
bash-2.05a# ping -f 192.168.254.254
PING 192.168.254.254 (192.168.254.254): 56 octets data
...............................................................................

2664 packets transmitted, 2585 packets received, 2% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 0.8/19.0/42.8 ms
bash-2.05a#

and this is the "ifconfig" output after that :
bash-2.05a# ifconfig

As you can see collisions are very much .

I haven't this problem with the 2.4.21-gentoo_modified kernel and with
the new 2.6.0-test7 kernel , so it seems to be a Kernel problem .

Another strange problem that seems to be Kernel indipendent is that the
autonegotiation fails :

bash-2.05a# mii-tool -v
eth0: autonegotiation failed, link ok

bash-2.05a#


Please, Help me to find a solution to this! :(

Thank you very much!
