I then did a search on the syslog, and got this: root@hawk:/media/disk# grep 8139 syslog Jan 23 23:11:36 kernel: [ 0.416093] pci 0000:00:0d.0: [10ec:8139] type 00 class 0x020000 Jan 23 23:11:36 kernel: [ 0.416722] pci 0000:00:0e.0: [10ec:8139] type 00 class 0x020000 Jan 23 23:11:36 kernel: [ 22.813925] usb 1-1.2: Product: DataTraveler 2.0 root@hawk:/media/disk# On another FIT-PC which is running Bullseye: root@white:/var/log/apt# dmesg | grep 8139 [ 10.897167] pci 0000:00:0d.0: [10ec:8139] type 00 class 0x020000 [ 10.898147] pci 0000:00:0e.0: [10ec:8139] type 00 class 0x020000 [ 44.971388] 8139cp: 8139cp: 10/100 PCI Ethernet driver v1.3 (Mar 22, 2004) [ 44.979230] 8139cp 0000:00:0d.0: This (id 10ec:8139 rev 10) is not an 8139C+ compatible chip, use 8139too [ 45.141373] 8139cp 0000:00:0e.0: This (id 10ec:8139 rev 10) is not an 8139C+ compatible chip, use 8139too [ 45.438841] 8139too: 8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.28 [ 45.534101] 8139too 0000:00:0d.0 eth0: RealTek RTL8139 at 0xccfc2a96, 00:01:c0:03:f4:11, IRQ 10 [ 45.729725] 8139too 0000:00:0e.0 eth1: RealTek RTL8139 at 0x2e6d8dc8, 00:01:c0:03:d8:78, IRQ 5 [ 48.858651] 8139too 0000:00:0e.0 enp0s14: renamed from eth1 [ 48.960869] 8139too 0000:00:0d.0 enp0s13: renamed from eth0 [ 56.400301] 8139too 0000:00:0d.0 enp0s13: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0xC5E1 root@white:/var/log/apt# Considerably different. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
