Realtek driver didn't get mac address

[BlondeGuy]

I have a Realtek ethernet driver working with RTL8169 driver from eCS 2.0. For that driver I need to specify NetAddress. I installed beta 1, and networking does not start.

Output of ifconfig and lantran.log are attached. PCI dump of the ethernet adapter follows.

Please try fixed version r8110-02.zip from attachments.

[BlondeGuy]

Thanks for r8110-02.zip. I installed it, but I still get no networking. The DHCP client is running, but it never assigns an address. I'm including the output of a few commands to illustrate what is happening.

[ydario]

this new driver works for me now :-)

mac address is 0000000 but it works.

I have added the R8110 protocol.ini parameters specified in the readme.txt.

One issue still present (I have this problem also using 8169 rtgnda driver): in a specific lab here at school, networking is not working at all; if I move to another lab, everything is ok. Using windows or linux in this lab is ok, so something is wrong in OS/2 driver (maybe LAN speed or some automatic duplex selection).

[psmedley]

Latest build works for me too.

netstat -n shows:
Interface 0 Ethernet-Csmacd
physical address 001a4d5c2498 MTU 1500

[diver]

i have exactly the same nic as BlondGuy and exactly the same symptoms. i also tried the attached driver, but also with this it's not working. i have the feeling it's due to physical address ffffffffffff

[gerash]

Replying to diver:
Please attach pci.exe output, and output of rmview /IRQ and rmview /IOA

[Leo123]

I am sorry to tell that the beta2 driver does not work for me.

Motherboard Asus M3A78-EM with Bios version 2701
Device 8168h RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller

When I switch my machine on I see on my Linksys switch three leds for the
network port: ON, half/full duplex and 10/100Mbps.
During config.sys (netbind.exe?) the leds go off for a few seconds. Then,
sometimes they stay off, sometimes only the ON led, sometimes ON and full
duplex, and sometimes all three. Only in the latter case the driver is useful.

I have more information available.

done with logs.zip

Replying to Leo123:

I have more information available.

Any info will be appreciate.
It seems something goes wrong with autonegate speed/duplex while init.
Please attach pci.exe output, and output of rmview /IRQ and rmview /IOA. Also I need config.sys and \ibmcom\macs\protocol.ini.

Hello,

here is what you whish: my-info.zip

[Leo123]

badly working driver for my chip

[BlondeGuy]

I just tried this driver, but I didn't see any function beyond the driver loading in config.sys.

Which is 0.1.3 by the zip file and readme, but announces itself as 0.1.2 while booting.

I tried version 0.1.3 with the timestamps as shown.

It didn't work again. It didn't get a mac address, so it couldn't get an IP address. I'm giving the data from netstat, ifconfig and detectei again.

The R8110 driver has been replaced by the R8169 driver. Please read the wiki for the reasons why: ​http://svn.ecomstation.nl/multimac/wiki Please try the R8169 driver.
