I am trying to get my RealTek 8139-based chipset PCMCIA NIC card to work for Gentoo 2004.2. When I do a ifconfig -a, it doesn't show the card at all. All that appears is 'lo' (Local Loopback), 'eth0' (Not sure what that is for, but it's not the RealTek card), and 'tap0' (Again, no idea what this is).
If I do a lspci, it generates some errors at the beginning of the listing:
Code:
pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci/03/00.0
Unable to read 64 bytes of configuration space.
It then continues to list all of my other devices (and the card does not show up). This error does not appear when I remove the NIC.
I read and saw that I should try modprobing some other drivers, so I did. Here's what happened:
For '8139too', it said:
Code:
PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device. Please try using pci=biosirq.
8139too: : region #1 not an MMIO resource, aborting.
/lib/modules/2.4.26-gentoo-r6/kernel/drivers/net/8139too.o: init_module: No such device
/lib/modules/2.4.26-gentoo-r6/kernel/drivers/net/8139too.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.26-gentoo-r6/kernel/drivers/net/8139too.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.26-gentoo-r6/kernel/drivers/net/8139too.o: insmod 8139too failed
For '8139cp', it said:
Code:
8139cp: pci dev (id 10ec:8139 rev 10) is not an 8139C+ compatible chip
8139cp: Try the "8139too" driver instead."

/lib/modules/2.4.26-gentoo-r6/kernel/drivers/net/8139cp.o: insmod 8139cp failed
For 'tulip', it said:
Code:
/lib/modules/2.4.26-gentoo-r6/kernel/drivers/net/tulip.o: init_module: No such device
/lib/modules/2.4.26-gentoo-r6/kernel/drivers/net/tulip.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.26-gentoo-r6/kernel/drivers/net/tulip.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.26-gentoo-r6/kernel/drivers/net/tulip.o: insmod tulip failed
The first thing I want to figure out though is what it's saying when I do 'lspci' and why during boot I get about 20 errors saying:
Code:
pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci/03/00.0
...can't load module 8139too
missing kernel or user mode driver 8139too
Thanks!!
