Hi,
I have installed redhat5 on dual core hp 2310MT system but builtin lan card is not detected same card is working in windows.I tried external card that works well but builtin realtek card does not detected.
please suggest me the solution bc i have 50 pcs and i cant afford 50 external cards.
Regards

Output of lspci would be helpful to understand which card you have and what are the drivers that are needed.
I already have a server running RHEL5 with two realtek cards and it detected them automatically.
I am assuming your redhat5 to be RHEL5

Hi,
Dear I have installed r8168-8-010-00 it works after installation and my card detected as r8168,eth0 but when i reboot the system it does not activated althoug my setting is correct and all enteries in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 are saved and
rhel5 kernak version is 2.6.18-53.el5.
what i should do is it not a correct driver.
Regards

Hi,

The same problem i was facing sme 2-3 months back.I am using Redhat 9 based system,with 2.4.22 kernel.I just checked the name on windows side which is Realteck 8168.After that i have downloaded the driver for linux for that ethernet controller,compile it and make it detected at boot time.

If still facing problems,then post your outputs of lsmod and lspci.

Regards,
Ravi
