Network problem in RedHat
 

Hello

I'm running Redhat 8.0 with a Realtek 8029 Cars, I read up on this driver and redhat supports this driver under ne2k-pci... MY problem is if I want to activate my network device it can't activate, I've also tried it on many settings like eth0/1/2/3/4 etc. I'm not sure how to get all the relevant information on my network card like irq and dma settings.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

try a lspci and see if the os sees the card. if it doesnt you may try to physically reseat the card. i have seen partially unseated cards cause problems. you may also check under /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and check the settings on ifcfg-eth0 and see what the NIC is set to. are you using redhat-config-network to try and configure it? what kernel are you running and have you checked for an updated module on the nic?

Hello

My kernel ver is 2.4 ... Red hat 8.0 It supports my network card, I run lspci and it sees my network card as a realtek... it's got a number in front of it > 00:0f.0 I assume this is the memory address...

The way I configure it is through x windows. Under network setup - I've tried on all eth(x) and all irq settings (1-14) but can't activate my connection..

Any ideas and thank again

Linux will detect all these settings automatically.
To see this information, type:
Using RedHat's Network Configuration GUI tool (redhat-config-network), set it to DHCP or a static IP.
Make sure you activate it and that it is set to activate when the system boots.

You can check the status of your network by typing:

I'm having the same problem. After entering all info, I click on "activate" in the Network Device Control of the GUI and get the error message:

"Cannot activate network device eth0."

When I click on configure and get to Network Configuration, Devices and click on Activate the message is:

"3c501 device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization."

Under the Hardware tab, Edit the Network Adapters Configuration window opens. The only value listed is IRQ = 9.

ifconfig -a lists only lo.

lsmod doens't seem to show anything for eth0.

I've deleted the network card and rebooted, re-entered the IP address. It's built in, so re-seating isn't an issue.

Thanks for any help. I've been going around in circles for the last 48 hours.
