Hi.
I bought a Medion MD5400 Notebook with an *onboard* rtl8139 ethernet
chip. System is SuSE 8.1.
I downloaded netdrivers-3.3 and tried the rtl8139 with debug=2 In the
hope for any help I here post some information to diagnosticise the
problem. As far as I can see (from DHCP attempt, and ping) the main
problem is that receiver functionality is not activated.
During insmod, ifconfig, ping nothing special is loged, but when
trying insmod, starting dhcpdc (DHCP client) the following is logged:
Dec 7 01:16:09 hermes kernel: eth0: Transmit timeout, status 0d 0004 media 10.
Dec 7 01:16:09 hermes kernel: eth0: RTL8139 Interrupt line blocked, status 4.

Please help.
