Realtek RTL8139 C+ With RedHat 8.0

Hawk284 · 02-27-2003, 10:26 PM

I am trying to figure out how to get my internet connection up and working on my system. I have a Compaq Presario 900 series with an internal Realtek RTL 8139 C+ card. I tried to install it manually but the system can not find it. I set it to the same irq that it has in windows. I have a broadband cable connection through Road Runner in Maine, USA. Any tips on how to get this connection to work would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Dan

you said that you tried to install it manually. Could you list in detail what you did do.

If i can remember. I have redhat 8 by the way do its set up alot like windows. I went into some kind of network config that needed a password and i went through the list of cards and chose mine. Then i set the irq to 11 because this is what windows has it at. I couldnt enter any of the other information it wanted like mem, io, io1, io2, dma1, dma2 etc. When i clicked initialize or whatever it said it couldnt find it?

I am having the exact same problem with the exact same notebook model (compaq 900z). Tried running "modprobe 8139too" but got error back as "no such device" and was given a hint that "may invalid io or irq param"

try 'modprobe 8139cp'
