I'd first check the hardware database for that NIC to see if it's supported.

Next, is the NIC on the motherboard, or in a seperate slot? What kind of slot (assuming PCI)

In a terminal shell (command line) run LSPCI and see if your NIC is listed.

Hmmm, I'm having the same problems with a Devil Linux install. It tells me what the two NIC cards on the system are right after it says it failed to find drivers for them. I'm using the latest release of this distro too! this is only my 3rd install of any form of linux and I'm trying to set up a firewall... sigh

Hey guys,

If I was in your position, I would take one NIC out, and see what happens. Maybe get one working at a time, and switch out. Once it see's both cards, put them in together and finish it out.

I assume you mean realtek 8139d.
This is supported by the Linux kernel -what distro/kernel are you using?
The drivers can be downloaded from here
