I have a relatek rtl 8139 based zebronics ethernet card after a lot of struggle i manged to obtain the drivers that compiled properly. But
after
doing depmod as the readme file said, what do i do next..
Support for 8139 chipsets is included in the kernel - so I am not sure which "driver" you have obtained but it's probably unnecessary.
It should already be available as a module (called 8139too) in the default FC2 kernel. Just do: $ modprobe 8139too
Wasnt available earlier but now i have this module.
To autoload the module you would have to add something like this in
/etc/modules.conf: ### option rtl8139 - ethernet card alias eth0 8139too ###########
Did this
BTW: If your card is based on RTL-8139C+ chipset it has a totally
different driver (called 8193cp) - just make the changes above accordingly. You can also check which modules are available with your kernel using: $ modprobe -l
Ya the actual card i have is rtl 8139D, i tried it with 8139too and 8139cp but same thign "device does not seem to be present dlaying initialization".
