Linux can't see my REALTEK 8139 NIC's :-(

but if the card apears in /sbin/ifconfig then the card MUST exist, and must be activated.

lol, its strange how for some people linux is easy, and for others hard.

i set up my friends linux pc for him, after a clean install, i just launched the web browser, and the internet just worked, even though the route to the modem went through a switch, then a hub, then a router... lol.

sounds like were close to solving this problem anways, let us know how it works out.

I cheated

I installed Mandrake and it detected everything 1st time!

But it doesn't seem to like my Radeon 9800Pro GFX card

Perhaps a bleeding edge beta of XFree86 would fix it. One never knows......Radeon support for Linux actually exists, so you have at least a fighting chance

have you installed the Radeon Drivers From ATI ???
if so have you properly edited the XF86COnfig file as instructed ?

you will have to post more info than "doesnt seem to like"
to get an accurate solution.

that is the type of card that is built into my motherboard, and it works just fine without an configuration at all, but i use fedora core 1

I try to install the driver and it warns me that the file clashes with another.....

file /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 from install of fglrx-glc22-4.3.0-3.7.0 conflicts with file from package libxfree86-4.3-23mdk

You have a 9800 Pro built into your motherboard, are you sure?
