HW ethernet address problems with 8139too and 2.4.9
Hi gurus,
I've got a problem with an Elitegroup K7AMA onboard rtl8139C LAN. ifconfig shows me the hardware address ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff. So I'm not able to get an tcp/ip connection. Under w2k professional everything works fine.
Any suggestions?

The f*** rtl windows driver does that. You can do:
(1) stop booting windows
(2) ifconfig eth0 hw ether ... at a reasonable place in the boot scripts

I didn't run windows before that on the system, the processor was a "virgin"
