The natsemi driver can not detect a second DP83815 ethernet card. The 2.6.12 r4 kernel detects it just fine. Here is the result of lspci on the old kernel which is the same on the new kernel except for 0000:00:10.0 not showing up. 0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.

Actual Results: The second card which is eth1 did not show up on lspci and the system us unable to configure eth1. Expected Results: The second ethernet card (eth1) should have been present and configured.

Created attachment 63730 [details] Kernel .config file. Here is the kernel configuration I am using for both kernel 2.6.12 r4 and 2.6.12 r6.
That's really odd if it's not even appearing in lspci. Does rebooting into the older kernel definately fix it? Please attach dmesg output from both kernels.
Created attachment 63758 [details] Output of dmesg for 2.6.12 r4 kernel Result of dmesg for working kernel.
Created attachment 63760 [details] Output of dmesg from 2.5.12 r6 kernel. Output from the kernel having problems.
Your logs from the r6 kernel show both cards being detected: natsemi eth0: NatSemi DP8381[56] at 0xd4000000 (0000:00:0f.0), 00:02:e3:14:dd:42, IRQ 18, port TP. natsemi eth1: NatSemi DP8381[56] at 0xd3800000 (0000:00:10.0), 00:40:f4:6c:cd:2e, IRQ 19, port TP. eth0: DSPCFG accepted after 0 usec. eth0: link up. eth0: Setting full-duplex based on negotiated link capability. eth1: DSPCFG accepted after 0 usec. eth1: link up. eth1: Setting full-duplex based on negotiated link capability. Are you really sure that it isn't working? Perhaps you could attach the "ifconfig -a" output and the "lspci -vvv" output from the -r6 kernel.
This kernel was giving consistant failures. Now for the last few days is has been working. I will keep trying to get the failure to appear. It seems to me that the bug will have to marked as FIXED since I can't repeat the failures. This annoys me since I don't like wasting your time.
Ok, please reopen if it happens again :)
