Hi,

My Ethernet card fails silently (RedHat 7.2) (no messages at all about eth0 in the dmesg|more (or at boot)

Hardware Browser section reports:
Selected Device: RTL-8029(AS)
Manufacturer: Realtek
device: /dev/eth
driver ne2k-pci

I checked /dev, but no eth entry/file is visible.

On shutdown I get this message:
insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.7-10enterprise/kernel/drivers/net/ne2k-pci.o: insmod eth0 failed

In my Windows2000 (on same machine): IRQ=16, on Linux I set at 15 (no 16 available?)
IO:C000-C01F (thats 0x300-0x31F, isn't it?)

I tried setting /etc/conf.modules to:
alias eth0 ne2k-pci
options ne2k-pci io=0x340 irq=15
but get the same (insmod etc above) message

Any help will be appreciated
