I write you because I am desperate. Iam not able to mak my ethernet
working right under Linux. It works under Windows XP partition. I am
running Red Hat on a Notebook computer. I have download your diagnostic
programs, and these are the results:

mii-diag
Basic registers of MII PHY #32:  1100 782d 0000 0000 01e1 41e1 0001
0000.
 Basic mode control register 0x1100: Auto-negotiation enabled.
 You have link beat, and everything is working OK.
 Your link partner advertised 41e1: 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx 10baseT-FD
10baseT.

The RealTek chip appears to be active, so some registers will not be
read.
To see all register values use the '-f' flag.

There one more thing. I can't connect to internet (pppd can not
inicializate if I have ethernet card running). I know they are sharing
IRQ 9, but I can not change this.

I am fighting with this for two months, and I don't know what to do.

Help please.
Thanks in advance
