hi,

i've been having problems getting my RealTek RTL-8029 ethernet
card working with 2.2.0-pre9. it works fine with 2.0.36. i havent
tried any of the 2.1.x releases.

when doing 'make modules' i get the following errors:

make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.0-final/drivers/net'
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.2.0-final/include -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -mpentiumpro -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe
-fno-strength-reduce -m486 -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2
-malign-functions=2 -DCPU=686 -DMODULE -DEXPORT_SYMTAB -c 8390.c
8390.c: In function `ei_close':
8390.c:177: warning: unused variable `ei_local'
8390.c: In function `set_multicast_list':

8390.c: In function `NS8390_trigger_send':
8390.c:1092: warning: unused variable `ei_local'

the modules do get built, however.
when using these, i am able to connect to local machines using a
255.255.0.0 subnet mask but when i use 255.255.255.0 i get the
following error when enabling eth0:

SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable

does anyone have any clues on this?

thanks in advance.

keith.
