One thing to try, shut down the network interfaces (/etc/init.d/network stop), remove the 8139cp module and the 8139too modules: rmmod 8139cp rmmod 8139too Re-insert the 8139too module: modprobe 8139too Start networking again: /etc/init.d/networking start Verify that the 8139cp driver is not loaded: lsmod | grep 8139cp If 8139cp is loaded again try flat out moving the module out of the /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ directory tree to another location, and repeat the above. and try your test again nate
