Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
In trying to get the rtl8139 to work on previous |
| 4 |
versions of gentoo I came across a problem due to the |
| 5 |
driver being mislabeled. I brought it up then but it |
| 6 |
is still there....in original condition. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Its wrong (my guess) in two places. |
| 9 |
First in /lib/modules..../drivers/net/rtl8139too.o |
| 10 |
To resolve this I did a cp rtl8139too.o rtl8139.o |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
And then in the modules.dep file |
| 13 |
To resolve that I had to add the path to rtl8139.o |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
|

One of the NICs this driver supports is the DFE-530+TX |
| 17 |
by DLink. Yes I realize that it is widely thought of |
| 18 |
as a POS but its also very cheap. I am cheap so it |
| 19 |
suits me fine. I have had lots of luck with it. |

Hoping it gets fixed |
