[realtek-bug] Problem with 2.4.2 kernel

[Jared Giles]

Hi, I have compiled the 2.4.2 kernel with the RealTek 1839 driver included 
in the kernel and it doesn't work. It does however work when I compile the 
driver as a module and load it at bootup. The driver is called 8139too.o. I 
also included the output from rtl1839-diag in case it helps some:

=======================================

Any ideas why it won't work when compiled in the kernel?
