Need Help! Install Network card for Cable modem connection

[Brent Fortman]

Thanks.  I have resolved the immediate issue.  I was never able to
insert the rtl8139 driver into the running kernel without getting the "
init_module: No such device." error.

However, it loads fine at boot time after being added to
/etc/modules.conf as "alias eth0 rtl8139". I verified the new driver
works with an old NIC card that I had previously working with 8139too.

The new NIC card I am trying to install is the D-Link DFE-530TX+ REV E1
(D10038D chipset) on RedHat 9, 2.4.20-8.  I have tried both the 8139too
and rtl8139 drivers - both do not work. The system correctly identifies
the hardware (lspci -v) but fails to be able to configure eth0 (
Determining IP information... [fail] ). I have been unable to find any
other source of information that might suggest that there is yet another
driver that will make this thing tick.  I am starting to wonder if it
may simply be a bad piece of hardware.

Wow, that's an old thread! Last year.

Anyway, you are using the same exact card?
Give us some specifics in your case. What version Linux?
What is the output of lsmod?
What does dmesg show?
Have you tried building the module into the kernel?
What NIC modules are already compiled into the kernel?
