How about going to Fedora Core 2, which is a Red Hat offspring but is being brought up to date, maintained, etc., and is more likely to recognize your card? If you want a DVD of it and don't have a high speed line, you or anyone else on the list who writes to me is welcome to it.

I know this is not a linux form, but you all often have the answer. I inherited a PC at the office that I decided to switch from Windows ME to Linux Hat 9, with plans to make a web server out of it. I thought I might even put my test VistA system on it so that I could work with it during the upcoming WorldVistA conference. I didn't pay too much attention during the redhat installation process. I just accepted all the defaults. The problem is that it is not properly detecting the network card. I put a second ethernet card in it that I had laying around, and I can't get that to work either. I have done some searching on the linux boards, but couldn't find my answer. Here is the output from the PCI bus (lspci) (I am having to hand type out the following because I have to email from a second computer) >lspci ... 01:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Acton Technology Corporation SMC2-1211TX (rev 10) 01:0b.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8029(AS) >lspci -v -s 01:0b 01:0b.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8029(AS) Subsystem: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL 8029(AS) Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 11 I/O ports at 2420 [disabled] [size=32] When I run redhat-config-network-druid I get an option to choose what kind of ethernet card I have. But I can't seem to find a way for it to probe the card and detect the correct settings. The closest I can come to this card is "Realtek RTL8129" The other two options are "Realtek RTL-8139C+ " and "Realtek RTL-8139 SMC EZ Card". It then wants to know what IRQ, MEM, IO, IO1, IO2, DMA0, DMA1 to use. I thought that modern devices were plug and play. Is this only a windows thing? I thought my days of parselling out IRQ's were past. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this, or links to where I might find an answer? Thanks Kevin __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
