Help needed - Intex rtc8139d ehternet card (Silan Tech) driver for kernel 2.6.x
Hello friends,
I just bought an Intex ethernet card. The model as written on the chip is rtc8139d (not rtl8139d).
The problem is the drivers are available for kernel 2.4.x and 2.5.x only. I have used it fine under Fedora Core 1.
But, now I have Ubuntu 5.10 (kernel 2.6.12-9-386). So, the card is not working. The drivers for kernel 2.4.x and 2.5.x are provided by Silan Technologies. I have tried googling around for the drivers but no luck.
So, is there a way to get drivers for kernel 2.6.x? Is there are a way to make some changes in the source file for the driver so that it could be compiled for kernel 2.6.x? Any suggestions would be greatly helpfull. Thanks in advance.

I have the same issue. The drivers are for 2.2 and 2.4 kernels. I need it for a 2.6.12 kernel on Gentoo Linux.
Here is the driver for 2.2 and 2.4 provided by the manufacturer. lspci detects the card as a RTL8139, but itīs in fact a Silan SC92031 (itīs a fake cheap chinese card).
Please, could anyone "transalte" it into 2.6 kernel?
Thanks,
Pablo
