 I have exactly the same problems on my Compaq Evo N1015V using 5.3-RC1
 as Russell Jackson described (watchdog timeouts, loopback test
 failures).
 
 Interesting is that I had no problems doing a ftp installation from
 the three boot floppies using that NIC.
 What makes the floppy kernel different from GENERIC?
 
 I would suggest increasing severity and/or priority of this PR, since
 re(4) explicitly states to support "Compaq Evo N1015v Integrated
 Ethernet (8139C+)" which currently seems not to be the case.
