Please help if you know on this ,

I need link for Silan SC92031 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter for redhat rhel5.0 driver (2.6.x kernel). This nic works fine on win XP as REALTEK
8139D but on RHEL5 not working .

my lspci shows as follows,

01:02.0 Ethernet controller: Hangzhou Silan Microelectronics Co., Ltd. RTL8139D [Realtek] PCI 10/100BaseTX ethernet adaptor (rev 01)

That card should run with the 8139too driver. That is a common card.

Is there a diver loaded? To find out, open a konsole, and run the command '/sbin/lsmod |grep 8139too' and post the results.

If it is loaded, then run '/sbin/ifconfig' and post the results.

If it is not loaded, then try to load it. As root, try 'modprobe 8139too' and see what happens. No news is good news, so if you appear to get no response, that is good. If you get a message, post it.

What have yo done to configure the interface?

Thanks for your response.

My system has two cards one is working with 8139too driver in Redhat5, But the another that i recently bought not working with that tried all options but of no use . i have 8139cp module also in my linux that also didnt work for my new NIC card (Advik Lan card).This second new nic works fine with XP.I tried ndiswrapper also that i configured as wan0 interface ,intrestingly it works but if i remove the lan cable from working first nic, my wan0 (Nic2) not working seems nic2 not using nic cable . Whats the use of ndiswrapper driver ?.

NdisWrapper is not a driver. It is a piece of code to interface between non-linux drivers ( windoze drivers ) and linux. Basically, you run the windoze driver, through Ndiswrapper, instead of a native linux driver. It was written to broaden the number of wireless cards that work with linux. A lot of card makers do not take the time to write linux drivers.

In some cases it is the only way to get some cards to work under linux.
