RealTek 8139 not being detected in FC4

prabhatsoni · 07-17-2006, 07:34 AM

Hello friends,

I am stuck up.

The realtek 8139 is not being detected by my FC4 box.

I manually add it and I try to initialise it and what i get is :

Quote:

8139too device eth1 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.

What could be the problem ?

I understand, the hardware is automatically detected. The same is not happening !

Any help friends ?

Thanks in advance.

looks like it thinks that it's gone. what does lspci say about the pci bus contents?

Thanks brothers,

The relvant extract of "lspci -v" is as below:

That above shows that at least the cards are plugged in.
Now, why are not they being recognised. I believe they should be automatically recognised as to the make and chipset etc!
How can I know that atuodetect is working ?

The etho is already bound to the onboard ethernet, and is already under use.

Thanks for everything, friends.

Waiting for further directions.
