Subject: 8139too in >=2.6.26: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Device or resource busy
I have problems getting a RTL-8100C(L) network chip working under
recent kernels. I was using 2.4 kernels for a long time without any
problems. With 2.6 I experience weird behaviour:
linux-2.4
The device works, ~10MByte/s Rx/Tx
<=linux-2.6.25
The device works, although with weak performance. Rx:8MByte/s Tx:1.4MByte/s
>=linux-2.6.26
The device is recognized, but fails while doing "ifconfig eth0 up" with:
eth0: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Device or resource busy
I tried various combination of the following options, no difference:
CONFIG_8139TOO_PIO
CONFIG_8139TOO_TUNE_TWISTER
CONFIG_8139TOO_8129
CONFIG_8139_OLD_RX_RESET
I compiled 8139too with RTL8139_DEBUG 3 and ran rtl8139-diag
-mmmaaavvveef as mentioned in the driver source (output below). Now
I'm a little bit lost, I don't know how to dig deeper into this
problem. I'd really like to move all my old systems to recent
kernels. I'd be thankful for any hints on how to continue debugging
this issue.
TIA,
Chris
