Post Dlink 530TX+ network card help


Ok, I have redhat 8 and would like to install my DFE-530TX+ nework card, but I have no idea how to install the driver. I have the readme but can't figure out the "Insmod" command. can someone help?

Thanks

Yo.

I've got a 530TX+ too.

I'm surprised Redhat didn't detect and setup your card automatically. On my system, it won't automatically find the network card if you have 'Plug & Play OS' set to YES in the BIOS. Setting it to NO allows all the hardware to be found.

Anyway, the kernel module you need for that card is 'via-rhine'. To load this module...

1. log in as root using 'su'

2. modprobe via-rhine (that will put the module into the kernel)

3. check out what's loaded by doing 'lsmod', which just lists all of the kernel modules that are currently in your kernel.


After that, your network card should be running! Still as root, try typing 'ifconfig', which lists all your network connection info.


Good luck dude!
