hello, I've got a Toshiba A110-262 which comes with an 10ec:8136 ethernet chip, which turns out to be an Realtek 8101E. Seems no in-kernel driver covers such chips yet. Realtek offers the GPL'd driver r1000, v1.04 at present, but seems it's not compatible with current 2.6.x kernel at the module param interface. I've pushed Realtek src in-tree after applying the attached patches. The r1000 driver now compiles and WFM fine for .16.28, .17.13, .18-rc6-git3. Hope this helps make them into .18. -- paolo GPG/PGP id:0x21426690 kfp:EDFB 0103 A8D8 4180 8AB5 D59E 9771 0F28 2142 6690 "Indeed, it does come with warranty: it *will* fail."
