Summary: Missing support for RTL8101 Ethernet chip (failure of
r8169 kernel module)
Product: Drivers
Version: 2.5
KernelVersion: 2.6.27 (ubuntu 2.6.27-2-generic)
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: Network
AssignedTo: jgarzik at pobox.com
ReportedBy: hadmut at danisch.de
Latest working kernel version: never
Earliest failing kernel version:
Distribution: ubuntu 8.10 (intrepid)
Hardware Environment: Toshiba Notebook with RTL 8101 ethernet chip
Software Environment:
Problem Description:
When inserting the r8169 driver, a eth0 device appears and is configurable,
just as a working device, except for the fact that it does not receive
anything.
Observation 1: When rebooting 2.6.24 into 2.6.27, the machine crashes before
getting into a single user shell. It however works when switching the machine's
power off and on before going into 2.6.27
Observation 2: When rebooting from 2.6.27 into 2.6.24 with a self compiled 8101
driver, it does not work either, but plugging the ethernet cable out and in it
helps.
It looks as if there is a problem with turning the receiver and the loop
current on and off.
regards
