Hello folks,

I have a motherboard D945 intel with realtek RTL8101E network shipset.

I google it for a solution about it and find these posts at vincentverhagen.nl/2007/12/03/realtek-linux-driver-automatic-compile-for-kernel/#comment-1661[/url]

But I find these errors.

Maybe someone could help??

You need to install the kernel-devel rpm package(s) for your running kernel.

Also see; http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/FAQ.php#B
Then try something like: yum install dkms dkms-r1000 kernel-devel

This ethernet controller appears to be supported in current kernels by the r8169 driver module, but you are trying to use some 3rd party source code.

Have you tried 'modprobe r8169' (as root)? Just updating to the latest kernel version for your distro might work.

I did modprobe r8169 (as root).
But what must I see after that?

May I have 1 pci network card and an onboard network controler?

As u can see, I installed a pci network card cause my onboard RTL8101E isn't working.

I do not want a 3rd party install.

Not sure what happened. I posted a reply a few hours ago and now it has disappeared. Try again...

If modprobe succeeds in loading the module there is no output message. You can check it is loaded by looking at the output of 'lsmod'. If the device is successfully configured there should also be a couple of lines at the end of the output of 'dmesg'. Here is my adapter getting set up:

eth0: ADMtek Comet rev 17 at Port 0xd800, 00:01:G8:23:92:00, IRQ 11.

There is no problem with multiple network adaptors. They should appear as eth0, eth1 etc.

nothing happens whan I do modprobe r8169.

As this thread did not come to a resolution, I thought I would post the solution to my similar problem. I have a Compaq SR5350F with an on-board RealTek RTL8101E that would not work with Centos Linux that came with Elastix 1.0 . In addition, I needed a second ethernet port and a PCI T1 card, and did not have another PCI slot (although it looks like I could have installed another PCI Express card).

After a lot of searching, I found this site with the Linux driver for the RTL8101E card: http://driverscollection.com/?C=8. I just followed the instructions that came with the driver (you first have to extract the .tar.bz2 file with ).

I would note that searching for the r1000 driver on the RealTek http://www.realtek.com.tw/ website leads one to the driver for "RTL8111B/RTL8168B/RTL8111/RTL8168/RTL8111C". I tried installing that first. It didn't work at all for my onboard RTL8101E.

Other notes: I found a posting that said that I should enable the LAN BootRom in the BIOS (I tried that, but it didn't work and was not necessary. Of course, you do have to enable the onboard ethernet in the BIOS.)

Also, if you comment out the "alias" line for eth0 in /etc/modprobe.conf (if there is one), and use a generic /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file, the driver or operating system will add the hardware address and driver name to ifcfg-eth0 and create a new alias line, which is handy if you have more than one enthernet adapter to ensure that the proper IP address gets assigned to the proper adapter.

See also this post: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...roblem-531962/ for related info (they refer to a perhaps newer r1000 driver that I had trouble locating) and for info on ensuring that your system has the right libraries and sources to compile the driver.
