I just upgraded the kernel on one of my servers from 2.4.20 to 2.6.20. Now the network card does not start up properly on boot, although I can subsequently start it manually.
The card is a D-Link DFE-530TX+, which maps to a RealTek 8139too chip. This seems to be a common problem, and there are dozens of postings on the scenario of an upgrade to 2.6.x with an 8139too. I have tried many of the suggested fixes, but cannot get it to work.
After the machine boots, it will not network. Running ifconfig indicates that eth0 is not present. However I can start the card manually by running "modprobe 8139too" then "ifup eth0", after which it networks with no problem. This isn't an adequate solution, because the server normally sits in a back room without an attached monitor.
If I run "dmesg" before the manual start there is no reference to the card. After the manual start, the following lines are appended to the dump:
8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.28
ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKD] enabled at IRQ 5
PCI: setting IRQ 5 as level-triggered

eth0: Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8100B/8139D'
eth0: link up, 100Mbps, half-duplex, lpa 0x40A1
Any suggestions? What additional information can I provide that would help?
