Message-ID: <47A37B04.3060909@switact.nl> Date: Fri, 01 Feb 2008 21:03:16 +0100 From: Switact - Thomas Roes <info@...tact.nl> To: netdev@...r.kernel.org Subject: R8101 driver link issue L.S. I'm using linux primaliry through Novell ZEN as part of it's imaging system. A "standard" problem is arrival of new network cards. Procedures to add new drivers to the boot image are well documented. Recently I got problems with a new motherbord using the Realtek RTL8101E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller. This card is recognised by the r8169 driver but.... it always gives me "link down". To troubleshoot this issue I installed SLED10SP1 on such a machine, which uses the same kernel as the ZEN imaging environment. So i searched for drivers to compile and came across the r8101-1.006.tar.bz2 driver. -1 To get this driver compiled, I have to edit the source at line 3273: u32 mss = skb_shinfo(skb)->tso_size; replace tso_size -> gso_size (or simply removing the if else endif construction altogether :-) -2 but unfortunately, also this new driver, although it get's loaded, it still reports (ethtool eth0).... current message level : 0x0..033 (51) Link detected : no I hope I'm writing to the right person to help solve this issue This link detection issue seems to trouble realtek drivers for a long time. -- Thomas Roes Switact Kvk: Leiden 28100283 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
