Network interface not being detected properly

Pappa · 2007-01-23 01:01:22

Hi there. I just finished changing my motherboard, and the only issue left now i can't solve myself and it's really weird - one of my network cards isn't being detected as an ethernet interface, but rather as a non-VGA misc. device or something to that effect =/ Running 2.6.19-beyond, motherboard in question is an Abit NF7-S 2.0. APIC disabled in BIOS.

Here's info:

"01:07.0 Non-VGA unclassified device: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)"
Just a quick look and this might be the problem. Maybe try 8139C or 8139 vs 8139t00 in your rc.conf and see if your system will then recognize it. I don't have the MB that you are referencing but that stood out to me. HTH

Scratch that!!! I see where you are loading this OK w/int 11.

Physically removing the card actually fixes a whole lot of problems. Probably motherboard not liking card.
