Re: [9fans] Rtl8139 NIC detection..

[I RATTAN <rattan@cps.cmich.edu>]

Hello,

I did recompile the kernel but no luck. Is there a trick to
/sys/src/9/pc/pcf file entry for rtl8139, as it stands it reads like:
...
link
	...
	ether8139
	...

does it need the keyword 'pci' after this??

Thanks in advance,
