Re: Rtl8139 Nic Bad! Rtl8029 Nic Good!
I have a dell machine that doesn't like PCI addon controllers. (an old optiplex gx1)

My sata card works in PCI slot 1 and Only PCI slot 1 and even then I don't think it initializes it fully since i think it should have a bios and I never see one but linux don't seem to care (boot it off an IDE drive)


I think its just some combinations of hardware don't like each other, Right pain the backside when it happens but the only explaination I can offer
