From: obakesan on 4 Jul 2008 04:24 Hi Its enabled in the bios, but despite trying to I can't even get it to see this is it possible, or should I just use another card? thanks See Ya (when bandwidth gets better ;-) Chris Eastwood Photographer, Programmer Motorcyclist and dingbat blog: http://cjeastwd.blogspot.com/ please remove undies for reply

Is it > possible, or should I just use another card? Which version of Redhat are you using? Does the card show up in the output from /sbin/lspci ? If you're using an old Redhat, it's possible that the NIC on your board didn't exist when that old Redhat was released. So: Answer the first question, then post the relevant output from lspci, and someone will probably be able to tell you what to do. -- This is my rifle, this is my GNU This is for fighting, this is for $FOO! --AJS in ASR My blog: http://crow202.org/wordpress/ Matt G|There is no Darkness in Eternity/But only Light too dim for us to see

So: Answer the first question, then post the relevant output >from lspci, and someone will probably be able to tell you what to do. > redhat nash 4.2.1.6 However, I think that I've found that its not possible ... as I found something on this on the Realtek FAQ (on their site {they make the NIC}): RTL8201, RTL8201BL, RTL8201CL, RTL8201CP, RTL8201N and RTL8211B(L) are all PHYceiver. That is a driverless hardware device. Software driver are relative to Network controller ( MAC ) which is integrated into chipset in such case mostly. Please contact your mother board maker or chipset manufacturer to obtain proper driver support. so its not looking good ... :-) See Ya (when bandwidth gets better ;-) Chris Eastwood Photographer, Programmer Motorcyclist and dingbat blog: http://cjeastwd.blogspot.com/ please remove undies for reply

Answer the first question, then post the >>relevant output from lspci, > redhat nash 4.2.1.6 Um. Redhat 4 is ancient and cannot be used with any modern hardware. RHEL 4 is much more recent, but still behind the times by one release. You should also provide the output of "uname -a" since Redhat's versioning scheme is less consistent than you may know, and not everyone is familiar with every name that every Redhat release had. > RTL8201, RTL8201BL, RTL8201CL, RTL8201CP, RTL8201N and RTL8211B(L) are > all PHYceiver.

This is why I wanted to see the output fron /sbin/lspci . (And all of whose base are belong to what?) > so [it's] not looking good There is still not enough information to figure out whether the card can be made to work or not.
