Re: RealTek 8139 Redboot i386


Hi,

The driver on www.edesix.com/ecos is for the 8019AS ISA chip, not the 8139
PCI chip.

We recently had a customer who wanted us to write a 8139 driver, which would
have been contributed, but they baulked at the (very reasonable) cost. If
someone else wants to pay for it, please drop us a line.

Chris.
