How to install and configure Realtek 8139 Nic card
I am new to Linux I have recently installed red hat 9.0 I have a realtek 8139 series NIC card. This card seems to be incompatible with linux. I have found updated drivers. The problem I am having now is how to install the driver. I am really new to Linux and want to learn just not sure where to go next.
What is the name of the driver?
I know of the older rtl8139 and the 8139too.
The driver should have some information at the download site. An RPM can probably just be installed, a source file should have a read me file when uncompressed.
You probably still need to load the module into the kernel after installing.
As i know realtek 8139 has support all the distribution of linux. would you like to give me th error msg.
cos myself also using the realtek 8139 chipset.
This should pull up the module for your card. After that, depending on what kind of network you run (hopefully dhcp as that's easiest ):
dhcpcd eth0
And finally:
ifconfig eth0
to check if it all went well.
