My notebook can not use Realtek 8139 netcard

English Network/Internet
#1

Either openSUSE 10.3 or 11.0 when I install to my notebook(Everex SA2055T)

It will hang up when loading 8139too driver , so I add brokenmodules=8139too on boot option.

When the OS finished to install , the 8139 netcard will not work , if I use rmmod=8139cp then modprobe=8139too , the system also hangs up.

How can I do to let may netcard active?

  • oykh,

are you sure that’s the correct driver?
Can you post the output of hwinfo --netcard, please?

I’m sure my net card is RTL-8139,because windows XP’s driver shows that.

Somebody said that I should set the netcard at the PIO mode instead of MMIO mode and re-compile the kernel.

CONFIG_8139TOO_PIO=y

How should I do that ??
