RE: Realtek 8139 network card installation
Yes Nadav, you're right. It's really crazy. That's why I asked the question...It's a long time that I didn't change my network card and I remember that something like 6 years ago, in order to change your Ethernet card you had to find the module, re-compile the kernel, etc... -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nadav Har'El Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2007 10:54 AM To: Leonid Podolny Cc: IGLU List Subject: Re: Realtek 8139 network card installation On Tue, Oct 16, 2007, Leonid Podolny wrote about "Re: Realtek 8139 network card installation": > Nadav Har'El wrote: > > >[snip] and this last problem was solved a few days > >ago when Linux 2.6.23 came out (and Fedora shipped it a couple of days > >later), > >with support for the off-chipset PATA controller on my motherboard. > [snip] > > Huh? 2.6.23 is not shipped in fedora yet. Well, I twisted the truth a little, but what I said was sort of true. Before Fedora ships a new package in its standard "updates" repository, it undergoes some testing, and in the meantime, you can get it from the official "updates-testing" repository. So if you can't wait a few more days for Fedora's testing process to finish (like I couldn't wait because I wanted to access my old PATA disk...) updating your Fedora to use the 2.6.23 is as trivial as typing yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update kernel See the announcements of the new kernel package here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2007-October/msg00618.html (actually, since then, there's a new one: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2007-October/msg00740.html) -- Nadav Har'El| Tuesday, Oct 16 2007, 4 Heshvan 5768 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |Sign seen in restaurant: We Reserve The http://nadav.harel.org.il |Right To Serve Refuse To Anyone! = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It's amazing what the Linux kernel supports these days.
A couple of weeks ago, I bought a new computer, filled with relatively new
technology. Still, Fedora 7 (which I used) "just worked" on it without me
needing to do any special tinkering, kernel recompilations, uber-complex
configuration, and all the stuff you typically had to do when Linux was
younger. The only thing that didn't work was my old ("PATA") disk (this
machine has both PATA and SATA), and this last problem was solved a few days
ago when Linux 2.6.23 came out (and Fedora shipped it a couple of days later),
with support for the off-chipset PATA controller on my motherboard.
Viva Linux.

Re: Realtek 8139 network card installation
they *should* work "out of the box" without any driver related issues. just configure the network options and that's it. if you're using the fedora gui, it's really easy, if not, use system-config-network On 10/15/07, Eran Levy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > I'm having some problems with my current network card and my friend gave me > a Realtek 8139 card to install until I'm buying a new one.

Re: Realtek 8139 network card installation
I asked the questions before installing the card, so thats why I'm answering in delay... guys you answered fast and I really appreciate it. It seems like its working. I will try to work with it and if I will get into any problems, I will call for help :) Really appreciate your help, Eran On 10/15/07, Yedidyah Bar-David <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Mon, Oct 15, 2007 at 08:32:55PM +0200, Eran Levy wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm having some problems with my current network card and my friend gave > me > > a Realtek 8139 card to install until I'm buying a new one. > Anyway...before > > I'm installing the Realtek card, I've 2 questions (it's urgent): > > 1.

Can someone help me and write in a few points how do I make it work? I did not check Fedora recently, but noone answered in half an hour and you said it's urgent ... My guess is that it's not embedded in their kernel but compiled as a module. Unless you do network booting this should not matter - if all goes well, it will recognize the card at next boot, probably ask a few questions and continue and work well.
