|
|
Hi,
I bought a new board last week with an integrated ethernet card.
What kernel drivers I have to use for this NIC? I used the RTL8139, but this one does not work.
http://www.realtek.com.tw/products/products1-2.aspx?modelid=9
any suggestions?
thanks _________________ - carpe noctem -

no suggestions?
I've tried a few other drivers, but there's still the message the interface eth0 couldn't be found. _________________ - carpe noctem -

Did you happen to buy a nforce2 motherboard? If so you will need to emerge nvidia-net and add it to your modules.autoload.
Hope this helps. _________________ Duh. |

nope. It's a SiS Chip. I normally add the ethernet drivers directly into the kernel. _________________ - carpe noctem -

8139too driver works for me on a SiS 655 chipset board with an integrated RTL8100 chip. |

Well, I had the same problem using Mandrake 9.1 and Knoppix 3.2 on my ecs k7s5a+, which has an onboard Realtek 8100B NIC... I tried booting an old gentoo 1.4rc2 livecd and discovered that it worked using the 8139too module... Haven't tried the newer gentoo livecd...
At the moment I don't need the NIC working (I use the board as divx player with movix :), so I didn't study in depth the problem, but it's a really strange behaviour...

Hi,
the problem's solved ... cat /proc/pci told me it's an SiS ethernet chip, not - as written at the elitegroup homepage - a realtek chip.

I don't really know. There's no model number printed on the box, just a sticker of Tom's Hardware Guide. Its K7S5A printed on it.
The board 's build in the case and I am to addled to open it again.

damn'it ... I found the model number. It's printed at a small box left aside ... It's really the K7S5A, but I watched the K7S6A information on the homepage (there's no K7S5A model on the homepage, just K7S5A V3.X, Pro and +) ... ok, my fault ... On my last EPoX board there was all information printed in the manual, and at the box. _________________ - carpe noctem -
