[etherlab-users] Does the Etherlab 8139too driver work with the RTL8139D chip ?

[Andreas Stewering-Bone]

Hello,

Have a look at the PCI ID of your chip
and look into the specific driver for your kernel.
The ID has to be inside the structure
static DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE(rtl8139_pci_tbl) = {...}
at the beginning of the driver file.

Best regards

Andreas
