AFAIK there's realtek 8139 driver in the standard kernel tree, so there is no need to download additional drivers. first try

Code:

 modprobe 8139too

, but if you don't have the module (usually in /lib/modules/kernel-version/) you would have to recompile your kernel.

when i last used redhat 9 it automatically detected my card and loaded the driver (kudzu)
have a look in redhat-configure-network settings

its a command that lists devices on your PCI bus.
you dont need the drivers.... redhat9 comes with the drivers.
