As it is mentioned: Anyone any experience on RTL8169 chips? I have three of
those boards here, but they won't work with the linux-2.4.20 included driver
(which claims to support those chips, but don't really as it seems). The old
Realtek driver used to crash the kernel and the newer one runs, but the code
seems not to trivial... Would be interesting to hear if some started porting
to etherboot. As Realtek claims, it's not to difficult from rtl8139, even
though it looks harder.

Have a nice holiday,

Anselm
