Hi, all is working fine now with this patch applied to the rtl8139.c file.
But I got some other problems: With the newest etherboot (4.7.23) it takes
a long time to decompress kernel image (ca. 30 seconds). It's much faster
with (4.7.22). But with both of them I'm not able to boot from floppy
after selection local boot via menu (options: CFLAGS32+= -DASK_BOOT=3
-DANS_DEFAULT=ANS_NETWORK) I get the message from the computer: PRESS ANY
KEY FOR REBOOT :-(
Because I patched the code into mainboard bios I'm in a bit of trouble now
:-))
So long,
Dirk
