Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Running kernel image 2.6.15-23-686 with two Realtek-based NICs from
  different manufacturers. Only one of the two cards is recognized by
  the kernel. Both are visible in lspci/Device Manager and both work
  under Windows.

  Working card: 
      Accton SMC2-1211TX, chipset RTL-8139C, loads as eth0

  Unrecognized card: 
      Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. (8128:1300)

  Attaching dmesg, lspci, etc. for your reference.
