RTL8139 problem

['Forum Post]

I have the exact same problem with breezy. 



lspci gives:

0000:00:0b.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)



dmesg has:

I know breezy and the network work together, as an ibook running
breezy-ppc works out-of-the-box.



If someone knows what is happening please let me know! 



Thanks,

Luke
