driver listings?

adam_boz · 10-21-2002, 02:42 AM

Hi all. Does anybody know a good site which lists netwrok drivers and the cards they support? I have done a bunch of searching around and I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.

Just in case any of you have these and can tell me what you used, here's what I have (part of /proc/pci):

Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8029(AS) (rev 0).

Ethernet controller: D-Link System Inc RTL8139 Ethernet (rev 16).

Thanks in advance

modprobe 8139too

Supports both cards. And linux/Documentation/networking contains lots of information about the network drivers. You can grep it out for 8129 or something.

Thank you. I had looked around in the kernel docs, but I had a hard time finding what I needed.

thanks again

EDIT:

should I do this:

cat /usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/* | grep 8129

or is there a better way?

I would do:
cd /usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking
grep 8139 *
because that will also show in which file to look.
