RTL8139c broadcast problems

[Brian Wright <bdw Aturna com>]

Hi, List!

I just installed RH 7.2 on a rackmount with a RealTek 8139c ethernet
card.  Running ifconfig brings up eth0 just fine, but when I try to ping
any IP addy, I keep getting "destination host unreachable".

Ethtool isn't able to access the device, reporting that the operation
isn't permitted.

This was in /var/log/messages:

Feb  1 16:23:19 sara kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
Feb  1 16:23:19 sara kernel: eth0: Setting half-duplex based on auto-negotiated
partner ability 0000

I've used DO$ based utils to hard set the duplex mode, but nothing seems
to resolve the problem.

Thanks,
Brian
