Re: GLUG: Realerk sriver not in kernel?

[Andre de Koning <andre@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm quite sure there is a loadable module for the RTL8139 ... search for
rtl8139.o 

If you are using LinuxConf it doesn't show up for some reason, so you
gotta type it in or add it to conf.modules manually.

Beware though ... the realteks, runnig a 10Mb seem to "freak out" if you
start transferring large volumes of data ... the tend to get slower and
slower 'till you have to ifdown/ifup ethx to get it working properly
again.

regards,

andre
