Package: linux-source-2.6.26 Version: 2.6.26-10 Severity: important Hardware involved:
RealTek RTL8139D ethernet card (10/100Mb/s). Markings on the chip: 63122S1 L622E TAIWAN. Linksys "8-port Workgroup hub" Netgear "router/gateway RP-614" Debugging info: When installed, the RTL8139D card is recognized by the system and the 8139too driver is loaded (as well as the 8139cp). When connected to the Linksys hub, ifconfig says the node is 10Mb/s, half duplex. Ping makes all the lights blink (at the network card, at the hub) both from the machine in question and from other machines connected to the hub, yet ping fails with "Destination Host Unreachable" in both directions. No other application works either, of course. The exact same network configuration was tried with another card, an old SMC ISA card and worked fine with the Linksys hub. The linksys hub was then replaced with the Netgear router. The link was then set up (automatically) at 100Mb/s full duplex and everything is working fine. While it is possible that the card itself doesn't work at 10Mb/s Half duplex (it's a new card, purchased days ago), it's much more likely that packets are getting lost or stuck in the driver. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.261 (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages linux-source-2.6.26 depends on: ii binutils 2.18.1~cvs20080103-7 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii bzip2 1.0.5-1 high-quality block-sorting file co Versions of packages linux-source-2.6.26 recommends: ii gcc 4:4.3.2-2 The GNU C compiler ii libc6-dev [libc-dev] 2.7-16 GNU C Library: Development Librari ii make 3.81-5 The GNU version of the "make" util Versions of packages linux-source-2.6.26 suggests: ii kernel-package 11.015 A utility for building Linux kerne ii libncurses5-dev [ncurses- 5.6+20080830-1 developer's libraries and docs for ii libqt3-mt-dev 3:3.3.8b-5 Qt development files (Threaded) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
