I think you've really explored the alternatives, ahmed! I agree with the previous posters. Save yourself further headaches and a possible fire and buy a new NIC:-)

hello guys! i've solved my problem already! :) what i did was reinstall my 2.4.31 kernel because its so messed up these days.
Files i DLed (get it from slackware.com) -> packages.

My installation process is:
1. installpkg /path/to/kernel-source-2.4.31-noarch-1.tgz
2. installpkg /path/to/kernel-headers-2.4.31-i386-1.tgz
3. installpkg /path/to/kernel-ide-2.4.31-i486-1.tgz
4. installpkg /path/to/kernel-modules-2.4.31-i486-1.tgz
5. reboot

for you ahmed, what your going to DL from slackware.com are the files the same what iv DLed but choose the "...2.6.13" files. change "kernel-ide" to "kernel-generic" as you will search 2.6.x kernel.

I THANK YOU GUYS! till the next problem! :)

i tried what you said
but the packages i found was for kernel 2.6.16 and 2.6.17
and i have 2.6.13 but i installed them
and nothing happens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am sorry
it may be my fault
i have discovered from the read me of the kernel driver 2.4
that it is " Silan SC92031 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter"
but it was installed on my XP Realtech
this is a the readme
Quote:
*************************************************
** Silan SC92031 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter **
** **
** LINUX driver **
*************************************************

Introduction:
=============

The instructions are for linux driver installation. You must
compile the source code to generate sc92031.o and use insmod command to
insert sc92031.o as module.

Contents of the Subdirectory:
=============================

readme.txt This file.
sc92031.c The linux core driver source code file
Makefile Makefile for generating driver object file

Kernel Supported
================
This driver support linux kernel version 2.4.x/2.5.x now.

Installation
============
1) Create a temporary directory:
# mkdir /temp

2) Change to the temporary directory:
#cd /temp

3) Copy driver (sl_linux.tgz) from CD-ROM to the temporary directory, and follow the commands:
# mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt
# cp /mnt/sl_linux.tgz /temp

4) untar the archive file:
# tar xzvf sl_linux.tgz
# cd sc92031

5) Compile the driver source files and it will generate sc92031.o, and
copy it to correct driver installation path (The installation directory
is different in different kernel versions. In 2.4.x kernel, the path is
/lib/modules/KERNEL_VERSION/kernel/drivers/net/, and in 2.2.x kernel,
the path is /lib/modules/KERNEL_VERSION/net/)
# make install

6) Check configuration file (/etc/modules.conf or /etc/conf.modules,it
depend on your Linux distribution) for loading kernel modules. Make sure
there is the following content in the configuration file, where # is
interface number :
alias eth# sc92031

7) Reboot now:
shutdown -r now

8) Install your driver module (If the driver module is in the wrong place,
an error message will appear, and say that can't find the driver
module):
insmod sc92031.o

8) Use ifconfig command to assign the IP address, where # is network
interface number:
ifconfig eth# <IP>

9) Check the interface works:
ping <remote_host_IP>

Uninstallation
==============
Please enter the following commands to uninstall your driver:
# make uninstall

Module Parameter:
=================
The following parameters can be set when we install the driver module. You can add this parameters when
you execute 'insmod' command to install the driver
# insmod sc92031.o work_node =0x00

work_mode
work_mode is used for setting the speed and duplex mode of NIC.Value is as followed:
Autoselect 0x00
M10-half 0x01
M10-full 0x02
M100-half 0x04
M100-full 0x08

If you want to use other modes,it can be changed by the following steps:
# ifdown eth0
# rmmod sc92031
# insmod sc92031.o work_mode= ****
i think this may make change
i searched for that driver on the net but i didn't found any driver for Linux
any ideas?

Did the 8139 depreciate? I would be surprised if it did....Very common card!

tuxnoob 04-16-2008 10:22 PM
since it was a very common card, there are also fake copies of this hardware anywhere here in asia. though, i still dont know on the other countries. :-/ the fake rtl-8139 lan card is doing fine on my unit. i downloaded something but i forgot where i got it. all i can remember is its in a chatroom where two people are talking about this fake hardware. its working on my 2.4x and 2.6 kernels.
