RTL network card problem

RTL network card problem

[Ole Martin Handeland]

Hi,

When i just inserted this second network card my redhat network config 
shows this:

Desc.			Type		Device		Status
RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ 	Ethernet	eth0		ok
RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ 	Unknown		dev22193	ok

Yes, i have two pci slots with two identical cards in.
ifconfig shows this:

dev22193  Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:E0:4C:39:32:3F
           inet addr:192.168.0.5  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
           inet6 addr: fe80::2e0:4cff:fe39:323f/64 Scope:Link
           UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
           RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
           TX packets:55 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
           collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
           RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:7474 (7.2 Kb)
           Interrupt:10 Base address:0xc000

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:10:A7:13:CB:0D
           inet addr:192.168.1.101  Bcast:192.168.1.255
	  Mask:255.255.255.0
           inet6 addr: fe80::210:a7ff:fe13:cb0d/64 Scope:Link
           UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
           RX packets:108 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
           TX packets:37 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
           collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
           RX bytes:16616 (16.2 Kb)  TX bytes:4623 (4.5 Kb)
           Interrupt:11 Base address:0xc400

So, my question is: why is this network card just partially found? my 
kudzu found it, i configured it, and it dont work...?

System: 700mhz celeron, 256mb ram, fedora core 2, and, as you see, one 
and a half network cards...

They may not be identical.
What does 'cat /proc/pci' show, relative to the two cards?
What is shown when the system is booted with one card at a time?

Re: RTL network card problem

[Ole Martin Handeland]

well, thanks to your questions, i figured it out myself, thanx!

if someone else want to know what i did:

i did a cat /proc/pci, found out this:

   Bus  1, device   9, function  0:
     Class 0200: PCI device 10ec:8139 (rev 16).
       IRQ 10.
       Master Capable.  Latency=32.  Min Gnt=32.Max Lat=64.
       I/O at 0xc000 [0xc0ff].
       Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xde000000 [0xde0000ff].
   Bus  1, device  10, function  0:
     Class 0200: PCI device 10ec:8139 (rev 16).
       IRQ 11.
       Master Capable.  Latency=32.  Min Gnt=32.Max Lat=64.
       I/O at 0xc400 [0xc4ff].
       Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xde001000 [0xde0010ff].

i did a /sbin/lspci, and resulted in this:

01:09.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. 
RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)
01:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. 
RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)

i pulled out both cards, and, yes, they were almost identical (the exact 
same chipset, and therefore, the same driver.)
i ran kudzu, removed the configurations for both cards.
shut down the box, and put the cards back in. power on.
kudzu now found both cards, and i configured, and now, both works! thanx!!

(wierd solution, but works...)
