RTL8139D and Fedora Core 5


Hello everybody,
Have major problems to get my eth1 network card working.
lspci gives me
00:10.0 Ethernet controller: Unknown device 1904:8139 (rev 01)

I've done modprobe 8139too as well still not working.
lsmod shows me
mii 5213 2 8139too, 3c59x

Any idea how to get this card working?
thnx in advance.

well when you modprobe the driver, you should run dmesg to check that the driver has been loaded OK. if the Unknown Device line causes the card to not be found, you'd need to add the device to your pci.ids file i.e. the file which matches up card id's to drivers. that's only relevant if it's a really new card that works with an existing driver though, and normally the driver would still load ok, indeed lsmod does list it, so i expect that's not relevant.

but once you have loaded the driver, you then need to configure it, and that would be just done through system-config-network or equivalent tools.
