[2.5.24] RTL8139: ioctl(SIOCGIFHWADDR): No such device

[Axel Siebenwirth]

Hi,

Environment: Kernel 2.5.24, SuSE Linux 7.2, Intel Chipset 440FX

NIC: RTL1839 connected to ADSL Modem

When trying to connect to ADSL, I get the following error msgs (I guess the
"ioctl(SIOCGIFHWADDR): No such device" is the important part):

pppd[823]: pppd 2.4.1 started by root, uid 0
pppd[823]: Using interface ppp0
pppd[823]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/0
pppoe[824]: ioctl(SIOCGIFHWADDR): No such device
pppd[823]: Modem hangup
pppd[823]: Connection terminated.
pppd[823]: Exit.

Have not tried 2.5.23 but 2.5.22 works fine. Since there have been changes to 
the 8139too driver I guess thats it. Unfortunately I do not know where to fix
this.

Regards,
Axel
