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.

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.

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.

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.
