Bug Description
well i found that
"Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/
did not see line.
Im sure that line and nic on other side is working.
i've used arp on both computer to set hw adres of realtek & another nic (arp reply did not return to realtek)
afther run tcpdump on both computers i see that pockets flow from realtek to secnod NIC
but respond of second NIC is not visable on computer with realtek..
both computers has proper network configuration, cable is properly connected and is not cuted.
hardware details
computer 1
has two NIC's , one from intel second from realtek
computer 2

both computers are smp.
kernel on computer with realtek is
2.6.20-16-generic
mii-tool shows:
eth1: no link (eth1 is realtek)
lshw shows:

System is : Ubuntu feisty fawn with latest updates
i've tried to remove once 8139cp once 8139too but that didnot help
also blacklisting of 8139cp or too ;) did not prevent this modules from loading
(rm also xD did not help)
Im sure that realtek is not damaged
this configuration previously worked fine at slackware.
Changed in linux: | |
status: | Incomplete → New |
it apears that problem is in detection of link

link beacome active but only at 10MB halfduplex
when i try to force it to 100MB fullduplex situation has becom like erlyier
1 host has link active but realtek has no link.
