G'day,I have a rather weird problem. We've installed a router device at one of our customers; it is a Via motherboard and has therefore a Via Rhine network interface on the motherboard (eth0) and a Realtek 8139 network interface on a PCI card. For some reason, the drivers for the two network interfaces seem to spontaneously invert, with the Realtek driver applying itself to the Via port (and usually working OK!) and the Rhine driver to the Realtek port (and sometimes not working - but sometimes working as well). This does not follow any outside action, although the customer has learned that rebooting the system (cleanly) solves any non-working interface issue.
Can anyone shed any light on this? NetSense Computers logoRegards, Edwin HumphriesView Edwin Humphries's profile on LinkedIn <http://au.linkedin.com/in/edwinhumphries>
