[Firstly, apologies if this is the wrong forum for this problem. After latest
experiment, the problem now looks to be more general (maybe PCI/BIOS) rather
than specific to the RTL8129/8139. However as most of my diagnostics relate to
the RealTek-based card, I thought I'd start here (but do feel free to suggest an
alternative forum)].
Am currently trying to use an Accton EN1207D-TX with an old 'no-name'
P90 PCI box to connect to one other machine (laptop via Cat5 RJ45 cross-over
cable). Have checked out cabling and laptop network card by connection to
different box and all works fine, so it's down to the Accton card and/or the
P90 box.
Symptoms: basically cannot ping laptop from P90 and vice-versa
Laptop 100Mbps LED on, both 10 *and* 100Mbps Accton card LEDs on. Have
tried Accton card in another PCI slot, no difference. Also have just got hold
of a D-Link DE-530CT+ (DEC Tulip-based) 10Base2/10BaseT PCI card and tried
that - doesn't work either, so it would appear more likely that the P90 is the
problem....
Currently running kernel 2.2.10. In terms of diagnostics I've listed below
practically everything I can think of - let me know if there's anything else
which may be useful:
Get the following on boot-up:
rtl8139.c:v1.04 9/22/98 Donald Becker http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/rtl8139.html
eth0: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet (mislabeled) at 0xd000, IRQ 11, 00:10:b5:3e:e9:8d.
PCI latency timer (CFLT) is unreasonably low at 0. Setting to 64 clocks.
After first attempt to ping remote host, get following diagnostics continuously
output to system log:
kernel: eth0: Transmit timeout, status 0c 0005 media 00.
kernel: eth0: Tx queue start entry 4 dirty entry 0.
Output if 'ifconfig'

The RealTek chip appears to be active, so some registers will not be read.
