I suggest 1) identify the correct model of your card! 2) find out for this kernel which driver is supporting the card 3) check if this driver is present on the system (locate,find) 4) try loading it and go on with configuration. regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

installing a realtek 8139 lan card on 2.4.18
I am trying to install a realtek 8139 lan card on an old debian machine - 2..4.18-bf2.4 The card is properly installed - as in when I connect the lan cable it the lights on the card start blinking. However, I am unable to access internet. Do I need to install drivers and how do I do that? Thanks, Sandip Looking for local information? Find it on Yahoo! Local http://in.local.yahoo.com/

Re: installing a realtek 8139 lan card on 2.4.18
I am trying to install a realtek 8139 lan card on an old debian machine - 2.4.18-bf2.4 I don't like to sound the bleeding obvious but I would suspect the driver for that card might already be in a later kernel. The 2.4x kernel represents less refinement than the 2.6x kernel. -- CK -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
