have installed centos 5.3. My network is not up, I have a attinsic gigabit ethernet adapter and I am trying to install the linux driver l1-linux-v1.2.40.3 which I assume is the appropriate driver. I tried compiling it but I run into this error. lspci... shows me attinsic ethernet controller unknown device. Below is the error I am running into. I have the correct target kernel.

[root@localhost src]# make install
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.18-128.el5xen/build SUBDIRS=/root/l1-linux-v1.2.40.3/src modules

First, you should establish which driver you do need.

There are three possibilities. The atl1, atl1c, and atl1e.

Look at the output of
1969:1048=atl1
1969:1063=atl1c
1969:1026=atl1e

All of these drivers are available in the elrepo repository. Enable that and you can just do
Replace atl1c with whichever driver you need.

that was informative but when I try to install the atl1c rpm I run into this error.

[root@localhost Transcend]# rpm -ivh kmod-atl1c-xen-1.0.0.11-1.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm
warning: kmod-atl1c-xen-1.0.0.11-1.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID baadae52

Well, I'm not particularly familiar with CentOS, but it looks like you're missing at least one dependency. I really suggest just adding the repository and using yum, which will automatically handle dependency resolution.
