actually i'm also having kind of a problem with 2 rtl8139's. Everything worked fine until I did an apt-get upgrade a couple of days ago. Now my ethernet-card that's connected to the DSL modem is having som major problems getting an IP from the DHCP. At first I thought that dhclient was buggy so I tried pump but that didn't work either. You have to try to update the DHCP a numerous times until it gets an IP. This is not very funny.. Anyone know anything that might have gone wrong? I've tried with a kernel that i can guarantee worked for 3-4 weeks ago. I'd be very grateful for help. -- :: Markus Olsson :: System-administrator Arvikafestivalen, Galaxen
