With Kernel 2.4.1
Kernel 2.4.2
Kernel 2.4.2-ac15 and
Kernel 2.4.2-ac20

im not able to load the 8139too Module. Everytime I
do an modprobe I get things like this:

[<02f21dsa>] [<02f21dsa>] [<02f21dsa>] [<02f21dsa>]
[<02f21dsa>] [<02f21dsa>] [<02f21dsa>] [<02f21dsa>]
[<02f21dsa>] [<02f21dsa>] [<02f21dsa>] [<02f21dsa>]
[<02f21dsa>] ........

And my system crashes. Its a little bit strage beause
of the fact that im actually running that Kernel:

# cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.4.1 (root@thoregon) (gcc version
2.95.2 20000220 (Debian GNU/Linux)) #4 Don Feb 22
16:27:19 CET 2001

with the 8139too module without any problems. But
everytime I build a new one I get the error. I
checked the changelog and found something called MMIO
and PIO (wathever this could by) it seems that since
rtl8139 this hase changed from PIO to MMIO. Maybe the
MMIO needs some special kernel settings not handeld
by "make dep" ?? Ore not supported by some CPUs,
Mainboards, ..... ??

My hardware:

Pentium MMX 200
128 MB-Ram
Strage Acer Mailboard

HD2: WDC WD450AA-00BAA0
VGA: Matrox MGA 2064W [Millennium]
ISDN: FrizCard Classic

Some hopefully usefull stuff:
