dlink card
 

Hi

I have installed RHEL5.0(2.6) in a server with D-Link DFE-580TX card. The server is unable to recognise the card.

I am really new to this type of installation.

Please help me with proper steps of installing the card.

Thanking you

What is the output of lspci? The d-link cards usually come bundled with a driver cd which contains drivers for linux as well. I remember buying a d-link card that came with the cd that had drivers for linux as well. But I did not need it. RHEL5 took it.

Card came with the driver of Linux 2.4 not 2.6
Ispci shows command not found

I have rhel5 server and I can run lspci and it shows the output. Why can not you run the command?

You have to be root to run lspci or just give the full path as a normal user:

I did not notice it in rhel5 but Ubuntu hardy gives the output of lspci even if I am not a root.

Yes, RH EL (and Fedora) has a different set of paths.

Here is an interesting link (bug report) about the missing driver in RHEL4, but they state it was supported again in RHEL5, apparently in release 5.2. Is the kernel running on your machine the most recent update? What do you get if you try to load the module manually?

sanjib;
One of your posts accidentally wound up as a report--it appears that it has already been covered here.

Good luck
