As an update: Whenever i take off the cable from an ethernet card the message:
> Mar 8 18:04:56 linux kernel: rteth0: Abnormal interrupt, status 00000002. appears. So that isn't a problem, just a warning because the lan is down. As i'm using 9 cards in 3 different pcs, i'm just post the PCI IDs from the problematic pc. When i started using tdma extended configuration one pc (with SUSE 9.2) sent some packages to the network. output from lspci -vv 00:08.0 Ethernet controller: D-Link System Inc RTL8139 Ethernet (rev 10) Subsystem: D-Link System Inc DFE-528TX 10/100 Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 64 (8000ns min, 16000ns max) Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 11 Region 0: I/O ports at e000 [size=256] Region 1: Memory at ff6fac00 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1+ D2+ AuxCurrent=375mA PME(D0-,D1+,D2+,D3hot+,D3cold+) Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- 00:09.0 Ethernet controller: D-Link System Inc RTL8139 Ethernet (rev 10) Subsystem: D-Link System Inc DFE-528TX 10/100 Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 64 (8000ns min, 16000ns max) Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 10 Region 0: I/O ports at ee00 [size=256] Region 1: Memory at ff6fa800 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1+ D2+ AuxCurrent=375mA PME(D0-,D1+,D2+,D3hot+,D3cold+) Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- 00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: D-Link System Inc RTL8139 Ethernet (rev 10) Subsystem: D-Link System Inc DFE-528TX 10/100 Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 64 (8000ns min, 16000ns max) Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 10 Region 0: I/O ports at ed00 [size=256] Region 1: Memory at ff6fa400 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1+ D2+ AuxCurrent=375mA PME(D0-,D1+,D2+,D3hot+,D3cold+) Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- All the cards are identical, all of them are D-Link.
