Do you know what the PCI vendor and device IDs are for the ethernet
controller? Sometimes they are different from the default Realtek ones.

Sorry to intrude here as I am quite new to the list, but my problem seems
to be about the same. My RTL8139 is not detected either. I have tried to
give irq, adress, mem and size in plan9.ini to no avail so far. command
pci shows the device however, with the vendor number as listed somewhere
in /sys/src/<whatever.c> (Sorry, but obviously I am not running the systen
now :( ), so that should be no problem.
Any help would be really welcome!

I will post a message once I've gotten
the new boot disk and CD out there.

Ahh, so that's it. I'm assuming you mean the build process for the boot
disks? Should I just keep on trying an install every day or could you
perhaps send a heads-up when you've fixed this?
Thanks.

The RTL8139 driver isn't included in the install kernel,
a bug I plan to fix in the next day or two. Sorry for the
confusion. I've put a check into the build process to
make sure no ether drivers are left behind in the future.

Are there any lines of the form
#l0: <more stuff here>
printed during boot?

Well, to my great delight the fourth edition of Plan 9 supports some of
the NVIDIA cards I have, so I set forth to get it installed on a machine
I have lying around.
Everything is just dandy (following the wiki installation instructions)
until I hit the confignet task, at which point "No ethernet card was
detected...". Meanwhile, there is a Realtek 8139 (PCI) in the box.
The Wiki notes for supported hardware mention this:
"# RealTek 8139 Ethernet controller; usually bundled into low-end
systems. (not detected on some (read: my) systems)"
Now, I suppose I could go find a cheap Netgear or so (can't be more than
$10 CAD I guess), but I was just wondering if there is a way to get the
Realtek detected or found.
My apologies if this has been answered in the archives, I can't seem to
get to https://lists.cse.psu.edu/ right now.
Thanks.
