Hi

Have you tried installing the card with Yast/Network Devices/Network Card/Add/Select from List? Your Realtec card is listed.
You then need to set static or DHCP addressing. Host name and domain name. Nameserver(s) and default gateway (if not using DHCP).

YaST isnt in slackware

as root try 'modprobe 8139too' then 'ifconfig eth0 up'

Bugrem · 06-27-2006, 04:12 PM

It is in Suse

sorry bugrem, i never even read suse in the thread starter's post. i just looked at his 'Distribution' and figured thats what he was referring to.

post back if either method worked, ahmed.

No worries.

Interestingly, Suse's Hardware Compatibility list says the card is supported in 10.0, but doesn't mention 10.1 - whereas most other cards in the list have both entries.

But, as it's in Yast's list, the module(s) should be rattling around somewhere.

Does lspci actually show your card? As per the error message in your first post, you might want to install the kernel source.

I think that my laptop's built in NIC device uses the same controller as yours:
02:01.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)

lsmod shows that the "mii" and "8139too" drivers are loaded. I'm using SuSE Linux.
Did you run the YaST -> Network Devices -> Network Card wizard?

Try running YaST -> Hardware -> Hardware Information first. This will cause YaST to rescan your system. Perhaps then your device will show up.

look man
what i have did that i had opened yast and add my network card and
and cofigured the settings
then i went to network manger it said i am disconected
and it said "no network device found"
in my openion that to solve this problem i must install the filies that i have in the cd that comes with the card
but the problem is it is used under kernal 2.4 and 2.5
then what shall i do
