Linux won't detect my Onboard LAN card. Foxconn

[SIZE="4"][SIZE="4"]Hi,

I have just install Redhat Enterprise Linux5, 2.6 kernel,Foxconn motherboard,model 45GMX-V but Linux did not detect the Onboard LAN card.Although when i use winxp it detects the card as RTL8139/810x.Will anyone help me please.I lost the motherboard CD also :(

Hmm 'kay, but which distro are you using please ? :)

I installed Redhat Enterprise Linux 5, 2.6 kernel

Ok thanx,

Well the RTL8139 module doesn't work with RHEL5 (as it's specified to be compatible...).

#1 Go here and download the proper driver named 'LINUX driver for kernel 2.6.X and 2.4.X (Support x86 and x64)'
#2 Do :

Code:

$ su -

Go to the folder where the file has been downloaded, then :

Code:

#tar -xvf r8101-1.016.00.tar.bz2

Now go to the folder where the files have been extracted and :

Code:

 

#make clean modules

#make install

#depmod -a

#insmod ./src/r8101.ko

(or r8101.o for kernel 2.4.x)

Code:

reboot

After the reboot, the server should be correctly connected (consider that the parameters are ok -eg. DHCP or IP address).

If not, type :

Code:

#/sbin/services network restart

That's it... Just keep me up about it plz.

Thanx

Thankyou,thankyou,thankyou, it works.Am new to linux,now i can start.
