Hello:

I have just installed a Realtek DFE-538TX PCI card on my Linux box, as a =
secondary Network card.

I use Red Hat 6.2, so my Kudzu detected the Network card and help me =
"configure" it.

While the NIC remains unplugged to the hub, everything is ok, but if I =
plug it in (which I obviously need to do) I receive message like this:

Oversized Ethernet Frame, status ffffffff!
Oversized Ethernet Frame, status d000ffff!

and the NIC doesn=B4t work.

It is using the RTL8139 drivers that come with the Red Hat 6.2 Linux =
distribution.

What could the problem be??

thanx for your help.
