Do you know precisely which Realtek chip you have? You'll have to look at the number printed on the chip itself: the PCI device ID is not quite enough detail.

It would be good to know if this patch also fixes the problem:

Code:

--- a/src/drivers/net/realtek.c
+++ b/src/drivers/net/realtek.c
@@ -997,7 +997,7 @@ static void realtek_poll ( struct net_device *netdev ) {
                realtek_poll_tx ( netdev );

        /* Poll for RX completionsm, if applicable */
-       if ( isr & ( RTL_IRQ_RER | RTL_IRQ_ROK ) )
+       //      if ( isr & ( RTL_IRQ_RER | RTL_IRQ_ROK ) )
                realtek_poll_rx ( netdev );

        /* Check link state, if applicable */

i.e. commenting out the check for IRQ_RER|IRQ_ROK but leaving in place the "if(!isr) return;" near the start of realtek_poll().

If this patch does work to fix the problem, then it means that the chip is reporting some kind of interrupt that we need to add to the list in the IRQ_RER|IRQ_ROK line.

If this patch does not work to fix the problem, then it means that the chip is not reporting any interrupt, i.e. that the chip is broken.
