Install enhernet card
 

I have just bought an Ethernet Card and put it in my pc (RedHat9). I've got a Linux driver (in floppy) but I don't know how to install it?
Can somebody help me?

Did the machine not detect the ethernet card when it was booted?

How many ethernet cards have you got? If one, then just go to the redhat-network-gui tool and you should be able to see the card. Most cards are pretty much detectable now.

If not, and you have a linux driver, you'll need to mount the floppy so that you can access it:

mount /dev/fd0 /mnt

You should then be able to access the driver via command line. If the driver is an rpm, then just do:

cd /mnt/<driverdirectory>
rpm -ivh <driver>.rpm

Check the README file you should have for the driver and all should be straighforwards.

Good luck!
