Which kernel are you using?
Post output of:
/sbin/lsmod /sbin/ifconfig -a uname -r
You should have the 8139too drivers.

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
To autoload the module you would have to add something like this in /etc/modules.conf: ### option rtl8139 - ethernet card alias eth0 8139too ###########
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

Your card is not supported under linux. The drivers 8139too and 8139cp are not for your card. These drivers support RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ cards (possibly more). Download the drivers for your specific chipset from: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloads1-3.aspx?lineid=1&famid=3&a... (Linux)

My card is RTL 8139D-based(some unknown brand). Works fine with 8139too driver. Zebronics apparently did a very weird job on *your* card ;-)

I read that thread a day or two ago, i downloaded the utility called ndiswarapper but tit only supports kernel 2.6.6 and i have 2.6.5 so it gives problems in compiling, so i will try a differnt version of it n i hope it works. Thanks for actually googling for my problem, :-)

ndiswrapper should very well work with kernel 2.6.5. Are you using Fedora Core 2? If so then just download ndiswrapper source and compile. OR First upgrade to Kernel 2.6.10 which was the last one available for Core 2 and then try installing ndiswrapper. Given the circumstances this is your easiest and best option..
The lspci output pertaining to ether net card is 01:06.0 Ethernet controller: Unknown device 1904:2031 (rev 01)
BTW I feel there is something wrong with this PCI ID. Notice that the poster @ fedoraforum.org had a PCI ID 1904:8139 while you don't have 8139 anywhere in you ID. This is _very_ weird...
Take care!

This may sound very non-technical but rather than waste many days on installing a card worth Rs. 275/-, if you are into production then simply buy a better card that will be detected automatically. It will also be helpfull to the engineer who may ( Godforbid ) have to re-install the system on-site. He won't have time for R&D. :)

Rony.

D-Link 538TX ( RTL8139C chipset ) bought a year ago costed Rs.550. Cheap hw always leads to trouble ;) I second Rony's opinion.

whats the PCI ID of your card? It simply _cannot_ be a 8139D or it may be some 8139D variant which is compatible with 8139C and hence its working...
Read carefully, 8139D is very much different from 8139C. I dont know how or why. It's just is that way. If someone knows better then he / she better speak up...

Hey your right! I am not currently using that card cause I've got one onboard - but I put it in and second-checked anyway. Here's what lspci says: => 0000:00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)
I never checked lspci before 'cause it pretty much worked out-of-the-box. I was basing my earlier conclusions on the output of dmesg: => eth1: RealTek RTL8139 at 0xec00, 00:50:bf:12:3c:fd, IRQ 17 => eth1: Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8100B/8139D' ... and a Big Black Chip on the card which says *RTL8139D*.
Some unknown company apparently did on very wierd job on *my* card :-(
Do'h ... farazs.

There is no driver for kernel 2.6. I downloaded the 2.4 thing but that did not compile.

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".

Whats the difference between Realtek's 8139 NIC and Zebronics RTL 8139 based NIC? Whats the PCI ID that you are getting after running /sbin/lspci -n. I too have the same card but from D-Link. It gives me this PCI ID: 10ec:8139. AFAIK it doesnt matter whether you have a D-link or a Zebronics NIC based on the RTL-8139 chipset.
I have tried googling but havent found anything that would solve my problem.
Zebronics seems to be some obscure Indian company so you wont find anything on google. Your best chance would be to google the PCI ID that you get.

8139 is commonly supported by linux. Did you replace this card midway during use or is this problem happenning during the FC2 installation itself? Do you have 'kudzu' running on startup? Still after your system is up, run kudzu as root ( or sudo if you are using it.) Then see the result.
