The card belongs to Realtek and its model is Realtek RTL8139D Family Fast Ethernet NIC... Is there any driver available so that i can download and install it...

I tried with google, but didnt get any revealent results... Can any one help me out?

Thanks in advance...

Hi,

A quick google says that the module you need to load is the 8139too module. So can you load a terminal and then do the following as root:

modprobe 8139too
ifconfig -a

Then let us know if the network card is detected.

Using modprobe 8139too command i m getting following error message:-

/lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/net/8139too.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/net/8139too.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/net/8139too.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/net/8139too.o: insmod 8139too failed

also lsmod is not showing any newly installed module for LAN Card...

what shall i do next?
