Well forget all of that other conjecture. I installed a pcmcia |
| 12 |
ethernet card manufacture = dynex. |
| 13 |
Since it uses a realtek chip, I have no problems getting the dynex to |
| 14 |
work as eth1. |

What's going on? We had another clevo portable running gentoo |
| 33 |
and this happened about (3) weeks ago. I just assumed the |
| 34 |
ethernet chip went bad. (2) indentical realtek chips on |
| 35 |
(2) different clevo portable going bad in a (3) week period? |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Very suspicious, statistically. |

this onboard realtek chips works when I pull the pccard ethernet |
| 40 |
chip and reboot and use the onboard ethernet chip. |

Ideas? |
