Hi. I have very recently installed the Debian 3.0r1 Linux cd, using default kernel that comes with it, the 2.2.20idepci. I am using adsl, whose modem is connected to my only NIC, a Realtek 8139C (not C+, i see 8139C on the chip), and the realtek 8139C driver (8139too.o) detected 2 network interfaces (eth0 and eth1), both on the same IRQ (10). When i boot, eth0 is brought up and eth1 stays down. When i start pppoeconf, it searches for Access Concentrators on "both" the nics, and finds it in the eth1 card. pppoeconf saves my setup, and when i boot, eth0 is brought up, and eth1 is also brought up. When ppp tries to use eth1, the box resets (IRQ conflict?). I therefore edited the ppp_on_boot script to bring eth0 down and bring eth1 up, and now everything related to internet works fine in my 2.2 kernel. Problem is, I want to install the 2.4 kernel to support all my other hardware. I installed the same driver, but now it only detects 1 network interface card (which was expected at first). pppoeconf detects the concentrator in eth0 (which was also expected) (it does not detect it when i unplug the cable, so i assume its communicating with the modem), but i am not getting any reply from my ISP's authentication server (at 200.165.104.12) nor any DNS servers... Does anyone what this is all about? I have tried to: - download the driver from the realtek site, compile it with the new kernel, same result - recompile the 2.2 kernel (debian package), but no 8139too.c within it - recompile the 2.4 8139too.c with the 2.2 kernel includes, does not compile None of these attempts succeded. Any help is very appreciated, thanks. -- Fred
