Via_rhine dirver not working properly

I got an VIA PC-1 PC2500 board  in order to build a DSL router.
http://www.via.com.tw/en/initiatives/em … /index.jsp

However, the integrated ethernet seems not to work.(with the latest 2007.08-2 FTP install ISO)

#lspci -nn |grep Eth
00:12.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6102 [Rhine-II] [1106:3065] (rev 78)

#dmesg |tail
via-rhine.c:v1.10-LK-1.4.3 2007-03-06 Written by Donald Becker
via-rhine: Broken Bios detected, avoid_D3 enabled.
eth0 : VIA Rhine II at 0x1f200, xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, IRQ 17
eth0: MII PHY found at address 1, status 0x786d adverticing 05e1 link cde1.


However, I am able to use this eth interface with no problem on gOS (thinkgos.com. It is basically a Ubuntu 7.10  + E17)

Any idea what went wrong with Arch and how can I fix it?

P.S. I may recompile my kernel and fix the problem, but how can I install Arch and download necessary software without network?

Re: Via_rhine dirver not working properly

Hi there,

I ran into the exact same problem with an epox ep-4vkmi that comes with a rhine (rev 78) and the latest 2008.04-rc. Were you ever able to fix this problem? any help is greatly appreciated.

Wow, that's long time ago.

I am not sure how I fixed the problem.

I have another ethernet card on board and after upgrading the kernel, both ethernet cards worked.
