Hey Guys/Gals,

Just put together a new system for network monitoring.

The motherboard is a: MSI K8NGM2-FID
Onboard LAN: VITESSE VSC8201RX/Realtek 8201 CL (I think my board (FID) version uses VITESSE????)

This card is not automatically recognized by Fedora Core 4 and I think that I am going to need somebody to guide me through how to get it up and running.

This is what I am doing and what I am running into problems with:

I goto Desktop -> System Settings -> Network.
Click on the Hardware Tab.
Click New.
Select Ethernet from the drop down box.

Now my network adaptor is not listed in the drop down box so I pick the closest thing to it: RealTek RTL8129 Fast Ethernet.

I leave Device as eth0.
I leave the IRQ as unknown. (Do I need to manually set this or will it automatically grab it?)

When I hit OK I get the following messege box:

{
system-config-network:

The ethernet card could not be initialized. Please verify your settings and try again.

Command failed: /sbin/modprobe rtl8129

Output:
FATAL: Module rtl8129 not found.
}

I get this same exact error whenever I select any type of module. (I was going to try use a different module so I could at least get on the internet. But I get the same error messege with every module I try.)

Any ideas on what I can try? Thanks in advance

OK, I got the Nforce drivers installed for the audio and the network but it still is not working correctly. As soon as I start any network activity via yum or the internet the computer comes to a crawl, so slow the mouse moves slow. I also get a SIOCGIFFLAGS error: no such device error when trying to add the network monitor to the menu bar.

Wheat things how you fix the prob , please post solution I have the same prob
