Hi saran_redhat,

Did you search driver on manufacturer's site? if not, please search and you will get driver from site.

There should be a driver for these chipsets in the kernel: sky2. I found this by searching for "88E8057" within the source files in the /usr/src/linux/drivers/net directory. The vanilla kernel at kernel.org has this driver, so if your kernel on CentOS is recent, I imagine it has it as well.

Can you post the output from "lsmod", "ifconfig" and "uname -r" please?

Hi,

Thanks for all the reply.

I got that driver from the vendor website. Now its fine.

OK. That seems like more effort, though.
