It gets detected just fine, though it doesn't actually work.. eth0: RealTek RTL8139 at 0xf8830000, 00:00:00:00:00:00, IRQ 18 eth0: Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8139' The null MAC address being one clue. Another oddity is that ethtool reports that there's no link detected, even though there is. (Enough for it to PXE boot a kernel from at least :) Futzing with the debug= modparam didn't yield anything extra at all. Any clues? Dave -- http://www.codemonkey.org.uk
