Re: [newbie] Realtek driver and eth0 in general
Hola Jose Thanks for your help. Sorry that i did not respond earlier, but i was trying to persuade knetstart to work. It does not - under any circumstances. So i am back to the original question - how do i compile/install or whatever the file rtl8139.c ? Yours Dick

Do you have a Realtek card in your system and it won't work? I use Realteks in both machines, the 100Mbit type, and it is standard available in the list of NIC's when you setup mandrake. How strange that you did not find it. Or did you and it does not work?

Re: [newbie] Realtek driver and eth0 in general
Hi Paul Thanks for your message. i have the same two cards that you have and yes, my system is configured with the rtl8139 drive which was supplied on the CD-ROM. It does not work, though although both cards work perfectly under Windows. Yours, Dick Hi Dick (Hallo Dick) Just dropped in on this. Do you have a Realtek card in your system and it won't work?

A dj., 04 maig 2000, vàreu escriure: Hi guys Sorry but i am a complete newbie both to Linux and to this newsgroup, so if these questions are too stupid or if they have already been answered before, please bare with me and accept my apologies (but still give me a coherent answer, please) My Mandrake Linux 7.0 works very satisfactory and i had no trouble whatsoever installing and configuring it. But although the program correctly identified my network card, the card does not seem to work and eth0 fails during the booting process. i tried to download the driver from the Realtek site. Got two files - realtek_cb.o and rtl8139.c It's also my case, i have solved it executing the program knetstart and selecting the option Dhcp. When one make that, he will find two problems. The Knetstart will stay sending packages to the server and we have to kill this process with: killall -9 knetstart. The second problem is that we can't start the network at boot, since this program is a KDE program. I have try to configure the network with Drakconf i had not success, and i don't understand why knetstart configures the eth0 without problems and Drakconf is unable to make it. Tried to 'insmod' the realtek_cb.o file, but got a message that this file was compiled for an older version of the kernel and the module would not install even when i tried the -f switch. Now what should i do with the rtl8139.c file? How can i install it as the driver? If and when the card finally works, i have another question - The main computer (not the Linux one) works under Windows98 and is connected to the Linux computer via the Microsoft network client. i realize that i'll have to use SAMBA, but my question concerned a much earlier stage - In that Microsoft network, the main computer has the IP of 169.254.35.242 while the Linux computer (which also works under Windows98) is assigned the IP of 192.168.0.210. Linux seems to regard those two IP as belonging to two different network systems. How can i reconcile it? (a guy from the PC Plus sent me a wonderful configuration which worked fine on his machine but was spat out by my Linux in utter disgust) Yours, Dick -- /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Jose Manuel Llorens Montolio.
