I have a problem with activating the ethernet in my embedded linux. I am using realtek 8100c(It is one of the realteck's 8139 compatible NIC).
Our company designed a board and a some kind of system BIOS for our board. And after I installed a linux on the board with the BIOS and upload the firmware of the realtek 8100c into its rom.
The only ROM I see close to the 8100C is the EEPROM that contains configuration and MAC address. This should only have to be written to once.

Does my System BIOS need some kind of initialization on the realteck 8100c?
Besides normal PCI init required for all PCI devices I very much doubt that. But speak with your hardware department and your supplier. And check out the chip data sheet.
