Realtek 8139 in Dec Alpha Multia

[Mark E. Dunlap]

Quick question that may save me hours of digging into something I probably
don't understand anyway.  I am a C program, but not a Kernel hacker.

I put a generic card, using the Realtek 8139 chip set, into a Dec Alpha
Multia.  A noname thing with a PCI card slot.  When I try to use
the 8139 card, I get the following error randomly.

"kernel: unaligned trap at fffffc000035c1ec: fffffc000200007e 28 1"

Configration:
Dec Alpha Multia (166Mhz) 48Mb Memory.
Linux RedHat 5.2
Kernel: 2.0.36-3
Noname PCI 10/100 Card.  Locked at 10Mbps Full-Duplex.
rtl8139.c: 1.08 (Compiled as a module)
Compiler: gcc version egcs-2.90.29 980515 (egcs-1.0.3 release)

I get a lot of flakying things with this no-name alpha, so it is probably
something bizzar with the PCI driver, not the card.

Thanks for any help.
