It seems that your NIC is not recognized in the first place. Adding functions on top of that will not help you.

Your initial post did not mention what card you're using:

You should try to find out the name and type of the NIC (e.g. from its manual).

Use http://www.google.com/linux and enter the exact designation of that card.

If the card is a PCI card, you might also try:

Code:

lspci

See if you can find something that says "Ethernet controller". If you do, remember the numbers at the beginning of the line, and enter

Code:

lspci -n

Check for the entry with the same numbers at the beginning. In the middle of the line you will find a number which looks like XXXX:XXXX

This is the PCI ID of the card, which is also an excellent item to put into Google/linux.

Thank you Vimico For help.My card is an PCI card and its 3C905B-Tx fast etherlink XlpCI so now can you tell after my patch and all now if i want my NIC card to be recognized What should i do ,Can You please help me out.

Google indicates 3C905B is supported by the 3c59x driver.

Check if 3c59x is already loaded:
lspci

If not, load the driver:
modprobe 3c59x

Check if ifconfig lists it:
ifconfig
