How to find the right driver?
Hi, I'm using RedHat 4 EL and I don't know what driver is right for my NIC. Right now I can't go to the Internet with RedHat because I don't have the right driver. Can anyone tell me how to find the right one or where to look for it please. Thanks.

It's probably this one:
Code:
┌───────────────── Realtek 8169 gigabit ethernet support ─────────────────┐
│ CONFIG_R8169: │
│ │
│ Say Y here if you have a Realtek 8169 PCI Gigabit Ethernet adapter. │
│ │
│ To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module │
│ will be called r8169. This is recommended. │
│ │
│ Symbol: R8169 [=n] │
│ Prompt: Realtek 8169 gigabit ethernet support │
│ Defined at drivers/net/Kconfig:2039 │
│ Depends on: NETDEVICES && NETDEV_1000 && PCI │
│ Location: │
│ -> Device Drivers │

I found and installed the necessary driver and now I can connect the Internet alright. However, a small problem has arisen. Whenever I log in to my system, there is a warning message as follows:
Could not look up internet address for dhcppc0. This will prevent GNOME from operating correctly. It may be possible to correct the problem by adding dhccpc0 to the file /etc/hosts.
How can I get rid of this annoying warning?

I was going to post just that some time ago, but didn't because people here yelled at me before for stating the obvious (even tho I personally don't think it's all that obvious to all people).

I'm once again faced with the same problem. I've installed RedHat 4 on a HP server but it seems this machine requires a different driver. Here is the output of lspci and lsusb commands respectively:

Just look around in the kernel config options for it, it's there:
Code:
┌───────────────────── Broadcom NetXtremeII support ──────────────────────┐
│ CONFIG_BNX2: │
│ │
│ This driver supports Broadcom NetXtremeII gigabit Ethernet cards. │
│ │
│ To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module │
│ will be called bnx2. This is recommended. │
│ │
│ Symbol: BNX2 [=n] │
│ Prompt: Broadcom NetXtremeII support │
│ Defined at drivers/net/Kconfig:2265 │
│ Depends on: NETDEVICES && NETDEV_1000 && PCI │
│ Location: │
│ -> Device Drivers │
│ -> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y]) │
│ -> Ethernet (1000 Mbit) (NETDEV_1000 [=y]) │
│ Selects: CRC32 && ZLIB_INFLATE │

It's a part of the kernel.
I think for RHEL there might be a package called something like: bnx2-1.4.43f-1.src.rpm that you can use to compile the module separately.
