First you will need to verify you have installed the kernel-devel and kerenl-headers packages. As sudo or root
Code:
rpm -qa | grep kernel-devel
rpm -qa | grep kernel-headers
If you do not have these, then in a terminal type
and search fedora or rpm.phone.net or whatever for kernel-devel-(then the results of uname -r commad) e.g. kernel-devel-2.6.18-1.2869.fc6
Once you have downloaded the kernel devel and headers packages then download the driver for your ethernet card. Search google for the r1000 driver, I found it hard to find so if you search for r1000_v1.05.tgz on google, (the first result on google is currently a forum that links to the driver).
Once you have these 3 packages downloaded, (or transfered via cd) then install the kernel devel and header packages as sudo or root.
Code:
rpm -Uivh kernel-devel*.rpm
rpm -Uivh kernel-headers*.rpm
Then untar the r1000 driver and view the readme file. This will instruct you how to install the r1000 driver. It basically states to as sudo or root
Code:
make clean modules
make install
depmod -a
After this is installed, as sudo or root in a terminal type
Code:
system-config-network
and you should be able to use that application to do the rest
I have not done this process in a while so hopefully this will work.
