bug with rtl8139



Hi

moving stuff from the bench to the shop, I needed to use a smaller 
computer case to fit into the space available.  The junk box yielded
a suitable case complete with motherboard and NIC.

Turned out that the different NIC (rtl8139) broke the emc 
module loading startup script    install_rtlinux_base 

including the marked phrase fixes this for me.
Although using modprobe instead of insmod would seem simpler at first 
glance.


# Install RT-Linux core module, if it is  not installed check to see
# if it exists.

if ! /sbin/lsmod | grep -v rtl_ | grep -v rtl8139 | grep rtl 1>/dev/null 2> /dev/null ; then
#   jrs 25Sep2001               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
#   add this above bit in case you have a 8139 nic
  if test -f /lib/modules/$rev/misc/rtl.o 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null ; then
    echo /sbin/insmod -f /lib/modules/$rev/misc/rtl.o
    /sbin/insmod -f /lib/modules/$rev/misc/rtl.o
  fi
fi

could someone with CVS access consider adding this?

regards, john
