Hello,

    I setup a SME server with RTL8139 NIC,and SME recognize the RTL8139 at the first setup.but it don't works when I use "ifconfig" ,the only output thing is "lo",so the RTL8139 don't work.

    I just check boot log and the log said that the device does not to be present ,delaying eth0 initial

    The NIC card is O.K ,it's new.

some one can give me advice?

Code: [Select]

is_available ${REALDEVICE} || {
      if [ "$?" = "1" ] ; then
         echo $"$alias device does not seem to be present, delaying ${DEVICE} initialization."
         exit 1
      else
         exit 0
      fi
}

This is select form the ”ifup“ script，it‘s echo the error message which i meet

NIC don't work?  Change the NIC.  (Or change the slot, update BIOS, check busmastering, etc.)  But mostly change the NIC.
