Hello! I'm evaluating a new compact firewall computer with an onboard Realtek 8139B chip. I downloaded a new copy of the Dachstein firewall and the rtl8139.o module from http://lrp.steinkuehler.net/files/kernels/Dachstein-small/modules/ . I then copied the module to the floppy (yes, into modules.lrp) and modified /etc/modules to include the following modules:
pci-scan rtl8139 <bunch of ip modules> According to modules.dep, the only module rtl8139 depends on is pci-scan. After rebooting, though, I had no eth0. I tried loading the module by hand: here's what I got: #insmod rtl8139.o Using rtl8139.o insmod: can't handle sections of type 1647181921 insmod: Could not load the module: Success cat'ing /proc/modules does not list the module, though it does list pci-scan. /proc/interrupts doesn't list it, either. Incidentally, there is no proc/pci. Further testing: I ran Realtek's configuration and diagnosis tool: it worked fine. I was not able to test on the wire, but everything else worked fine. Also, I tried using a 3c595 (putting the module between the pci-scan and rtl8139 modules) and it worked just fine, too. I can't figure out where to go from here. I don't know what it means when insmod can't handle sections of type xxx, and I can't find any other Realtek modules to try. I did try the one from the Realtek website, but it didn't like my kernel. I've used half a dozen or so NIC's with Dachstein before, and they have all worked flawlessly: even a Token Ring card worked without error! :) I would appreciate any help you might be able to give me.
