OS/2, Realtek and NIC drivers

Without that information, everybody is guessing about what chip you have. There is a clue, that you have something different, because of the "/8411" entry.

OK.
Done.
Here it is:
"Found Realtek NIC at bus 3:1:0: 10EC:8169 version 3 (RTL8169sb/8110sb)"

It did work with the 10EC:8169 version 3 (RTL8169sb/8111sb) device, but only at 100 Mbs. When I tried it at 1000 Mbs, it would trap in GENMAC. You could try updating to the windows driver that comes with it, but that may not work at all. GENMAC is definitely limited, and most newer windows drivers won't work.

I have not had the time yet to test my version on the new machine. All that I can say it that it worked so well these long years that it has been in that I forget it was in there; totally transparent.
Samba won't install under Ubuntu and needs to be beat over the head a few times. I will post the results of the GenMac RTL driver when I have them.

Interesting... That is the same one that always worked with Multimac, for me, but mine is on a PCI plug in card. It also worked with GENMAC, but only at 100 Mbs.

Odd. SAMBA comes with Linux Mint (which is Ubuntu under the covers). All it needed was to be configured.
Andi B.:
At that time I looked into the rtgnda sources but honestly I'm not so masochist these days anymore to try fixing a NIC driver written in assembler. Multimac is the way to go in this case.
The os2 kernel sources would be the only reason for me if available to dig into assembler again.

This chipset is documented as supported by the multimac driver. I guess it's possible that the PCI-e bus is an issue, but the only way to get this resolved is to submit a ticket at svn.ecomstation.nl/multimac

Which doesn't work.

I guess it is time to ask the tough question. What, exactly, do you mean by "Which doesn't work"???
If you report that "it doesn't work", nobody is going to bother to ask you "What doesn't work"? They also won't bother trying to figure it out. They need to know, exactly, what it is that they are trying to fix, and how to reproduce the problem.
It is also possible, that you have something else that is causing the problem. With more information, we might be able to spot the problem, without bothering the developer, who is overloaded with work already.
NETBIOS *might* be the missing link. As I said, I haven't used that, for years. It was causing problems when I quit using it, and I am sure that it hasn't changed. The last time I tried NETBIOS over TCPIP, it was causing more problems than SAMBA (which is certainly not perfect), but it worked better than NETBIOS, for me, when I was using it.
