When I do a warm reboot of my VAIO laptop, my realtek builtin NIC will not
function (it sees received pkts, but can't seem to send anything).

A cold boot fixes it.  An rmmod/insmod does not.  Not a horribly
big deal, but I thought I'd let you all know!  I was using 2.4.12-pre5
I believe...

I assume by RealTek you mean 8139.  Please provide "lspci" or "dmesg" or
-something- other than "my realtek builtin NIC."

Can you try the latest 8139too.c from gkernel CVS? 
(http://sf.net/projects/gkernel/ checkout module "linux_2_4")

Does enabling CONFIG_8139TOO_PIO change things?

Can you get any output when enabling RTL8139_DEBUG?
