The on board hme0 works just fine but when I tried to install a Realtek 8139 fast ethernet addapter I get the following error message Jan 17 21:41:15 kernel: rl0: port 0x400-0x4ff mem 0x2000-0x20ff irq 1 at device 2.0 on pci2 Jan 17 21:41:15 kernel: rl0: Realtek 8139B detected. Warning, this may be unstable in autoselect mode Jan 17 21:41:15 kernel: rl0: Ethernet address: 00:00:c0:b4:b9:db Jan 17 21:41:15 kernel: miibus1: on rl0 Jan 17 21:41:15 kernel: rlphy0: on miibus1 Jan 17 21:41:15 kernel: rlphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto Jan 17 21:41:24 kernel: rl0: watchdog timeout Jan 17 21:41:45 kernel: rl0: watchdog timeout Jan 17 21:43:42 last message repeated 5 times There's nothing wrong with the network cord and I have a link on the ethernet switch port. I also changed the NIC with a brand new Realtek card and I'm still getting the watchdog timeout error. I forced the mode on the card to 100baseTX half and full duplex but that didn't help either. What am I doing wrong here ? What do I have to do to be able to use PCI cards on the E450 box ?
