Hi,
Just compiled this kernel with 8139too as module. I have adsl (pppoe)
connection. Problem is, connection is lost after about 2-5 minutes after
start.
I tested eth card with ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/diag/rtl8139-diag.c
and found something like this "configured with ABNORMAL settings".Or
something like this. So I downloaded driver (v1.01)from http://www.realtek.com.tw,
replaced 8139too module and now all semms to be ok.
This diag tool says now : "configured with normal settings"

Were you forcing full-duplex or 100mbps?

AFAIK, the driver from http://www.realtek.com.tw *is* 8139too.

Yep, it doesn't seem to be a driver problem, but forcing a buggy
configuration to the driver.
What probably happened is that when you downloaded the driver from
the Realtek website, the modules.conf part of this "new" driver (or
some other script you might be using to load it) isn't forcing any
options and letting the driver figure out the best configuration.
Kind Regards,
