	I've compiled 2.4.3mdk-25 source with Athlon optimizations, and the
problem still happens.

	eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF  
          inet addr:192.168.0.1  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:4294967221 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
          Interrupt:11 Base address:0x9000 

	Look at the HWaddr. With default kernel (not compiled), I haven't this
problem and my ethernet card goes well and the HWaddr is: ·"HWaddr
00:E0:29:9A:CB:62 ". And I'm sure after reboot I *MUST* restore all the
values of my BIOS setup. Believe me,  I know. :(


	Here is the output of dmesg when loading the 81389too module:

	Assertion failed! ioaddr != NULL,8139too.c,rtl8139_init_one,line=927
eth0: SMC1211TX EZCard 10/100 (RealTek RTL8139) at 0x9000,

eth0:  Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8139C'
eth0: Setting 100mbps half-duplex based on auto-negotiated partner ability
ffff.

	"Assertion failed! ioaddr != NULL,8139too.c,rtl8139_init_one,line=927"?
What is this? Is this the cause of the bug?

	Now the lspci -vv:

	I hope these lines can help.

	It seem that I have resolved the problem. Yes, I've read 8139too.txt and
I thought to recheck my kernel 2.4.4 configuration.
	It looked this:
	CONFIG_NET_ETHERNET=y       
	CONFIG_NET_PCI=y    
	CONFIG_8139TOO=m   
	CONFIG_8139TOO_PIO=m
	CONFIG_8139TOO_TUNE_TWISTER=y
	CONFIG_8139TOO_8129=m
	
	Then, I've disabled PIO, and older RTl... 
	Looked like this:
	CONFIG_NET_ETHERNET=y                                                    
                           
	CONFIG_NET_PCI=y                                                         
                           
	# CONFIG_8139TOO_PIO is not set                                          
                           
	CONFIG_8139TOO=m                                                         
                           
	CONFIG_8139TOO_TUNE_TWISTER=y                                            
                          
 	# CONFIG_8139TOO_8129 is not set                                        
                            


And... Yeah, It works.
	The ifconfig is:
	eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:E0:29:9A:CB:62  
          inet addr:192.168.0.1  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:782 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:858 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 
          RX bytes:72449 (70.7 Kb)  TX bytes:1078928 (1.0 Mb)
          Interrupt:11 Base address:0xc000 

	Problem resolved. :)

	Hi, here I again with another problem :)
	Since I have installed kenel 2.4.3 & 2.4.4 (nothing went wrong with
default kernel in MDK 8, 2.4.3mdk), my ethernet card is not recognized
correctly.

	This is my ifconfig output:
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:E0:29:9A:CB:62  
          inet addr:192.168.0.1  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:437 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:302 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 
          RX bytes:70770 (69.1 Kb)  TX bytes:222559 (217.3 Kb)
          Interrupt:11 Base address:0xc000 

	The HWaddr is correctly (I'm using 2.4.3mdk actually). But, with
2.4.3-2.4.4 this value is incorrect, and after a couple of minutes, kernel
displays a message like this "Clock timer bug, may be a hardware bug VIA
686a." After reboot linux, this BIOS setup has deleted (CMOS checksum
error...), and the default values reloaded.

	I can't use another kernel than 2.4.3mdk.

	<Another interesting outputs:

	I hope this may help.
