AW: [Oberon] Networking problems

Hi Rene!

Hmm... The procedure which tells us that "LinkNotLinked" directly accesses the H/W registers of the network card, so there's really no link (the LED of the network card should also indicate "no link", does it?). Don't bother about other network things as long as you don't see "LinkLinked" instead of "LinkNotLinked". 
BTW, I use the RTL8139 driver. Works fine with my Reaktek card.
 
The following output of your kernel log is from AosRTL8139.Mod:
 
Searching devices...
Found model nr :   0
{P0 chipset version unknown... assuming RTL-8139}
Chip version is: FFFFFFFF RTL-8139
Install IRQ Handler:   255
Find finished.
 
In particular, the IRQ line (255) is strange. Seems not correct, but it's directly read from the PCI configuration space of the network card. The driver does not set this number, the card should be configured already before the driver is loaded. On the otherhand, the output on the kernel log is not synchronized, so it's may actually be "5".
 
You should have a look at this problem. Execute PCITools.Scan ~ (must be executed under Oberon). It shows an overview of all installed PCI busses and PCI devices in the system. Particullary, it should report the same IRQ and memory base addresses for your network card as the device manager of windows xp does.
