Re: RTL 8139 Problems - seems to be an old one .....

[Bob Edwards <Robert.Edwards@anu.edu.au>]

I don't use RTL 8139 cards, but I have seen this message ('BOOTP record
too large') before on my tulip setup.

I never finished tracking down where it came from, but got rid of it by
adding in some missing fields to the standard bootptab (I think I left out
the ds and/or gw fields - putting them back got rid of the problem).

I assume it was caused by some sort of buffer overflow in the netboot
image loader code, but never tracked it right down.

I hope this may help you.

Cheers,

Bob Edwards.
