- When worked around by symlinking generated/autoconf.h to include/linux/autoconf.h (which I think is the right action) you get this

Further research says this actually starts being an issue at 2.6.34 (if that helps)

found the staging version.... but can't get it to work...

et131x 0000:01:00.0: PCI INT A disabled
et131x: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned.
et131x 0000:01:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
et131x 0000:01:00.0: setting latency timer to 64
et131x 0000:01:00.0: Speed set manually to : 3
PSR 103cee000
PRS 11a342000
et131x 0000:01:00.0: RX Dma failed to enter halt state. CSR 0x00022001
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
et131x 0000:01:00.0: RX Dma failed to enter halt state. CSR 0x00022001
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready

It seems to TX but not RX... the amber light just flashes away... even when I force it to a given speed/duplex...

I give up, just another $30 write off...
