hi
I have fedora core 2 install on my system. my internet connection i working fine on eth0. i add one more network card on this system but when try to activate this new card (i. e. eth1) i get error "rtl8129 device eth1 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization." can any body provide help

Check to see if the device is listed on the computer. Linux has a device directory, called /dev. There are some steps to take. First, you can either enter:

ls -a /dev/et*

which should list all of them (the network ethernet devices (that's why there is 'eth')), or you can search specific:

ls -a /dev | egrep '/dev/eth1'

because you are looking to see if it is on your computer. I suspect that the device is no longer, or just not, on your computer. I am sorry I can not be of more help right now.

hi Clwhite0
thanks for the reply, i have very strange news, my internet connection is working fine on eth0 as i mention early, this means that eth0 is working fine still when i give
----------------
[root@localhost dev]# ls -a /dev/et*
ls: /dev/et*: No such file or directory
--------
i dont know what is the problem

again when i give
---------
[root@localhost dev]# ls -a /dev/e*
/dev/egp /dev/enskip
-------------------

what is means ?

At this point I am not sure what the matter is. I am sorry I could not be of more help.

could you please run:
lspci -v
and post the result here?

hi wym
thanks for reply , u asked me for lspci -v output. pls see if u can help

This is the card that can not be detected. It shows an impossible memory size. I'd say there is probably something wrong in the card.

My suggestion:
1. re-install the card, make sure it is pluged in well
2. go into BIOS setting, disable PNP
3. try insmod -f 8129.o, I assume 8129.o is the driver name, it could be another name
4. if all these don't work, replace the card

Good Luck!
