[realtek] Tx/Rx disabled on RTL8139C card

[Thaddeus Miller]

Hi there.  I installed the rtl8139 module and my
network card (D-Link DFE-530TX+) still won't talk. 
What's interesting is that the diag tool is showing
that the flow control is disabled.  How do I enable it
and why is it turned off?  Then I attempt "ifup eth0",
it hangs for a bit then fails.  In the messages file
is a DHCP timeout message.

I've got the board install on an older mobo with a PII
CPU (is this a BIOS issue perhaps?).  I'm running RH
7.2 and the 2.4.7-10 kernel.

Thanks,
Tad
