i need loads of help as i am very new to linux, in installing silan sc92031 PCI Ethernet Adapter driver on rhel 4 2.6.9-5.EL which i have been trying to do myself for last 3 days.
I recently install this rhel 4 and after that i am not able to access internet, though earlier for the same machine i was using XP and win 98 and was able to access internet, but with rhel 4 m not able to do so.

i have the soft copy of the driver file that came with the NIC card.
it has following files:

how to install silan sc92031 pci ethernet adaptor on rhel 5

I am having Redhat enterprise linux 5(RHEL5).i am having trouble installing NIC(silan sc92031 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter),but it is working on win xp sp2(i have dual operating system).While installing RHEL5 i didnt get the option to select eth0.i got a driver cd for silan sc92031 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter.I am new to linux please help me in fixing this issue.can you provide me step by step solution for this issue.Thankyou

Yup ndiswrapper doesnt work for it ,best alternative i found out is to install kernel 2.6.24 (vanilla) which recognizes the nic sc92031 easily and your network will work just fine

Kernel rpm location :
http://wiki.openvz.org/Download/kern....6.24-ovz008.1

Use:
rpm -ivh *.rpm
to install and reboot and enjoy

plz provide me the drivers installing silan sc92031 pci ethernet adaptor on rhel 4 2.6.9-22.EL
i heard about this site very much which provide good solutions .......
so plz sort my problem as early as possible.....thnku
