hi all,

im having trouble installing an onboard Realtek network card to RHEL4.5. the board is a Gigabyte P35 DS3,

http://www.giga-byte.com.tw/Support/...me=GA-P35-DS3P

i went to the realtek site and found the drivers i need, but when i follow the instructions on the readme file, it will not install. i unpacked the tarball, cd'd into the dir, make clean modules, make install, and both came up with errors. anyone help?

Does it not occur to you to post the errors?

You can post error it showing.
