Good day.
I'm unable to make working NICs containing Realtek 8139 chips - it is true for the latest updated Debian stable packets (let's call it B) - for the older ones (let's call it A) it seems working, though linux image is used the same (and it is where the drivers for te NICs are, as I suppose). After some Internet search and reading of the ethernet-howto - I found that I have to use drivers as kernel modules 8139cp or 8139too. On A I see (with lsmod) the drivers are loaded and the interfaces are up and running, while on the B - the very same hardware (the NICs) refuses to function (again, the very same drivers modules are loaded automatically) - when I do # ifup eth0 it says that I have no such device and some other errors. while lspci shows both of the devices. But in the /dev dir. I see no eth* devices. I never had problems like this (all NICs always worked out of the box for me) and I do not know how I can solve the problem that seems "just should not to be". So I ask for Your help. Thanks for Your time. PS Please, reply to the list. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
