[realtek] Same problem as Mr. Dante Plicato

[Stephan Elsner]

Hello there!

Here are additional information to my first mail.
At first thanks to Mr. Plicanto, he posts all his logs, I could copy/paste and change them, so I don't need to type alle the logs 
(my network card's not working unfortunately ;-)

I have exactly the same problem as Mr. Plicanto, but with other hardware

sony vaio pcg-n505x
kernel 2.2.19
pcmcia_cs - 3.1.31
it seems to be the same card (the label sais "hama 49272" - hama is a german reseller who don't have an own production) but a 
different cardbus controller:

00:0c.0 CardBus bridge: Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c475 (rev 80)
        Subsystem: Ricoh Co Ltd: Unknown Device 0475
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 168, IRQ 9
        Memory at <ignored> (32-bit, non-prefetchable)
        Bus: primary=00, secondary=20, subordinate=22, sec-latency=176
        I/O window 0: 00000000-00000003
        I/O window 1: 00000000-00000003
        16-bit legacy interface ports at 0007

20:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RT8139 (rev10)
        Subsystem: Billionton Systems Inc: Unknown device 0200
        Flags: medium devsel
        I/O ports at <unassigned> [disabled]
        Memory at <ignored> (32-bit,non-prefetchable)
        Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2

My syslog:

Mar  4 21:40:11 debian cardmgr[158]: socket 0: Best Data RTL 8139B

Ok, older rtl8139.c because I could neither compile the version from the "test" directory nor the one from the directory above.


I tried both bios settings PnP-OS yes/no with no effect. It seems that the bios (Phoenix) doesn't assign an IRQ to the card at all.
Is it possible to do that with an external (maybe non-linux) program?

The green led on the card goes on just in the moment cardmanager recognizes the card (beeps first high then low) and my switch 
indicates 100MBit/full duplex - but that's all. No eth0 interface available.

Thanks in advance for any help!
