Hi, I have a compaq V2000 laptop. Specs for network say its a realtek 8139/8139C+ NIC.
Is it really a RTL8139? Or it is possible that it's a RTL8100?
The reason I ask is because while the RTL8100 is supposed to be MAC compatible with the RTL8139, I'm finding this is not the case. E.g., https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=175971
Other distros (namely suse) said there was no problem with this was detected and worked. Mine does not work on either of the 2 V2000 laptops I have. I tried manually loading the 8139cp module then restarting the network and that did not do it.
Nope, the 8139cp didn't work at all. The 8139too driver loads, but doesn't communicate at all.
