Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686
Version: 2.6.8-3
Severity: normal
The Debian 2.6 kernel does not recognize
an ethernet controller that the 2.4.27 kernel does.
It's a common, cheap card, and not too old,
so it would make sense to support it.
(Below is from /proc/pci on 2.4):
Bus 2, device 10, function 0:
Ethernet controller: D-Link System Inc RTL8139 Ethernet (rev 16).
IRQ 11.
Master Capable. Latency=32. Min Gnt=32.Max Lat=64.
I/O at 0xd800 [0xd8ff].
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xfeafec00 [0xfeafecff].
Fgreps of syslog reveal no recognition of the card:
# fgrep 8139 /var/log/syslog
# fgrep eth1 /var/log/syslog
#

Version: 2.6.8-99+rm
You reported a bug against the Linux kernel (version 2.6.8) that was
shipped with Debian 3.1 (sarge). Since Debian 3.1 is no longer
supported and the kernel has changed so much that it would be very
difficult to verify every outstanding bug from 2.6.8, I'm hereby
closing your bug report.
If you still see this issue with the kernel from the upcoming release
of Debian (lenny, version 5.0), then please me know and I'll be happy
to reopen this bug report.
Thanks.
