My system currently has 8139cp and 8139too loaded and dhcpcd doesn't have any difficulty.

<br>Just to say that running cp and too at the same time isn't necessarily a problem. mii-tool/mii-diag my be worth a try if you have it to hand. I can't remember any of the options for these tools - it is a long time since I have used mii-tools, and I can't seem to find a package for them for openSUSE.<br>

Ok, it's not as if i'm a new user but something on Ubuntu on one of my<br>
boxes has me stumped.<br>
<br>
Like always, every distro tries to load up both 8139cp and 8139too<br>
drivers for this system and it then fails in the dhcp step. All i do is<br>
rmmod the cp and dhcpcd/dhclient eth0 and badda-bing! All working.<br>
<br>
Anyway, this time this time there is no eth0 and no rmmod'ing,<br>
modprobing and ifup'ing can make it appear.<br>
<br>
Any ideas?<br>
<br>
Also, can anyone tell me where the modules blacklist is/goes because i<br>
remember in Gentoo I think it was in /etc/modules/autoload.d/blacklist<br>
or something but that was ages ago.<br>
<br>
George<br>
