Make sure you're using drivers/net/8139too.c I see this in the driver: #define RTL8139_VERSION "0.9.10". I'm using test9 kernel, I doubt that you're driver is out of date -- it seems you're perhaps using the wrong driver. Regarding the I/O vs MEM accesses, look for this: /* define to 1 to enable PIO instead of MMIO */ #undef USE_IO_OPS Pete
