Description mgross 2016-07-04 12:35:21 UTC 
I've built a Linux for a PC/104 module equipped with a Geode LX800.
NIC is a Realtek 8139DL.
In the kernel-config I chose the 8139TOO driver to be built in the kernel.
It is possible to set the interface up via 

ifconfig eth0 up 

and to assign an IP address with

ifconfig eth0 192.168.10.2 netmask 255.255.255.0

Unfortunately pinging another system is not possible.
Every time I try it puts out a message like:

[  130.720092] 9139too 000:00:0e.0 eth0 link up, 100MBps, full-duplex, lpa 0xC5E1

This is not a Buildroot problem, but either a kernel problem or a hardware problem.
