hai,

recently i have installed a new NIC with chipset "RTL8139D". i have
seen modules named "8139cp.ko" & "8139too.ko" in my
"/lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/kernel/drivers/net" directory of Debian
Sarge. "TLDP ethernet how to" told me RTL8139 is supported. but this is
what i have:

On-Board ethernet is working fine but i wanted to connect my ADSL modem
to "eth1". where is my "eth1" card? how can i install it?

First, check that the RTL8139 adapter is detected at PCI level with
lspci, /proc/ioports or /proc/iomem. Then try to load the module :

# modprobe 8139too

If it works correctly, an interface eth1 should be created for the NIC.
In order to load the module at boot time, if you don't use hotplug (I
guess you don't, else hotplug should have detected the NIC and loaded
the module automagically), add a line containing "8139too" into the file
/etc/modules.

this is the output of "lspci":

it doesnt do anything. cursor simply goes to next line & if then i try
"ifconfig -a" output remains the same as i gave earlier, i mean no
"eth1". i tried both "8139cp" & "8139too".

It looks like your ethernet card does not have the standard PCI ID for a
RTL8139, which is 10EC:8139, nor any known non standard PCI ID. So
neither lspci nor the kernel module identify it. You can try to add this
PCI ID in the kernel source and recompile the module.

In drivers/net/8139too.c, within the rtl8139_pci_tbl definition, you
need to add the following line :

{0x1904, 0x2031, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, RTL8139 },

i am pretty weak at technical aspects but do you want to say that i
need to "recompile the kernel" ?

2nd, my distro Debian Sarge does not have any kernel-source (earlier i
sued "Fedora Core" , it has the source & keeps it in one of the
directories directories by default)
